Me and the mutt


Anyone single with a dog will know the difference the animal will bring to your life.
Instead of being pathetic with no-one, you can be pathetic with another living creature.
You can take your sad, hollow existence and plug it up with a canine (and I don't care what anyone says, a dog is much better than a stinky cat).
I have had cats.
Kate and Dustin.
Dustin was run over at a young age, and I have no idea what became of Kate after the partner I shared him with and I broke up.
He was a pretty hopless kitty.
Couldn't climb.
Was scared of everything except me, who fed him.
And he was stupid.
Give me my manic, crazy woofhound any day. Posted by Hello

I love your cartoons with each post :) What do you use to draw them?

Heya Ann.
Most of them are done in a piece of software called Painter, which replicates various media in a realistic fashion.
My "real world" work is almost all pen and ink on hot press Fabriano watercolour paper but it's a little hard to photograph so I've not included much on this blog.
If you go back through the archives you'll see some.
Also - I've tried to post on your blog many times but it simply wont let me.

I love how animals seems to have human facial expressions sometimes. There have been times I was sure a dog was smiling at me... and times when my cat looked so sly she could have been cast as a catburglar. I think it's mostly in the eyes...

I think it is all in the eyes.
The reason most cartoon characters have such big eyes is because animators get the most expression out of them.
