Thank you so much Susan. I go through phases of what I'm inspired to do but I seem to keep coning back to the pen and ink.....probably I don't have space to do the brush and ink anymore.

I love the boldness of your black and white images ,Melinda. FAV

Your ink work is always interesting. It causes the eye to endlessly flow within and around the image.

Thank you Jay. Maybe the "frightening" part is why my nephew doesn't remember these now. As for the playing card idea, I did use them for a time on postcards for my high school students. If they did something particularly worthy of praise, I'd let them pick out a postcard, I'd write in the my comments, and then mail it home. Some students made it their mission to collect a complete set...although I don't think anyone ever did manage. LOL

Hi Melinda I may never look a cats in quite the same way again! I can imagine this on the back of playing cards. All of these drawings are frightening and beautiful for this viewer.

You have some very striking designs in your cat illustrations, they'd make great T shirt designs, there are many cat lovers out there! Nice work Melinda.
