Hello Kitty!
Bombay
During the weekend, this cute little character appeared out of nowhere.
It’s funny how things can happen unexpectedly! When I look at the illustration I can see how it’s inspired by kawaii and characters in Japanese packaging design, but at the time I had quite different plans for my weekend and this cat seemed to appear of his own accord.
Birman
I started making a few friends for him, but I can’t think of a good name for the series yet. Does anyone have any ideas?
I thought these cats might make nice prints and later on this week I’ll do some testing to see how they come out on paper.
Well, now I think it’s time to curl up with a book and a cup of hot chocolate to wind down from all the excitement these cute cats brought me!

Those cats are out of this world! They eyes arereally mystifying. I adore them both, but I’m partial to the siamese, as my daughter is crazy for that breed (she’s 6!) . I look forward to seeing a print that includes these little guys. As for names…I’m stumped at the moment. But I’ll keep these little furries in my thoughts.
That’s so sweet of you to say! I really appreciate your comment!
I am a huge fan of hello kitty and i adore the little friends you made for her! I adore the black one lots! Have a lovely merry happy week and lots of love to yoU!
I’ve been meddling with the black cat’s eyes… I think he’s even cuter now… will have to post it soon! :D
Sooo sweet! I just love cats… And you friendly, happy kitties are adorable, Kate! Will there be more, a kitty cat family maybe?! ;o) Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
Thank you Tracy! I really ought to make a Marmalade cat too, eh?
Love the cats, well done! My favorite cats are black and Siamese and they’re both here!
Thanks so much for stopping by, William! Wonder what kind of desktop art you’ll be cooking up for next month! :)
Oh my gosh how cute are those little kitties. You know I just love cats. What about the name Catnip and friends. I know it’s a little corny but that’s just the way I am. Have a great one Kate.
Catnip is a great name!

Thank you Catherine! I enjoyed visiting your blog too! It’s going to be fun with the new course!
Thanks for your comments, everyone! I’m working on a set of different cat breeds now, so far I’ve got 8 kitties in the family. It’s a fun and playful little project to be busy with!
Just stopping by to introduce myself from the ‘together’ class. So nice to meet you, looking forward to seeing you in class.
Hello Alice, thanks for visiting!
Lovely!!
I’d call them itty-bitty-kitty-nitty-cutie-patootie-hootie :D … naw, I don’t know! But they are cute!
Hope you enjoyed your cup-and-book! ♥
Thank you cutie! ♥♥♥♥
I think they’d make lovely desktop icons.
Thank you. Yes, I think they’d work well as icons too. :)
