Sorry for Illustration Friday
There are some things you should never have to say...
"Honey, I'm really sorry I ran over your cat," is one of them.
Ink and marker pens on craft paper.
This drawing was inspired by a photo taken by Helen Levitt in 1938. It was one of a series of photos she took in New York City, of chalk drawings done by children on the street. A really small version of the image is below, it was found on the Amica Library site.

cute; very 'outsider art'ish. Is that a word? It is now.
Yeah, honwy I ran over the cat is a real downer, but your artwork is very cool. Sharp as ever!
I think you're still on your abstract kick...and it works great here. Running over a cat isn't a goos thing...I don't think "sorry" would work:< I love the childlike quality and the little kitty head floating above the figure.
that's cute. i love the legs....
Geesh! That would be a horrible thing to have to say! Very cute!
Not the best situation yet a delightful image.
I love your quotes. both here and on your other site about 'mistakes' and 'failure'. I have a gift for you to share with others called the Art of Wire Tree-making. "To give a person a tree is to give them a present...to teach a person how to make a tree is to give them a gift for life."
My job is not to teach students but to study teachers. Please...share it with the children.
your humble servant,
Ancient Clown
oh I love your colors and composition on this one.
No-sorry is not going to work with that one. That kind of sorry takes a lifetime I think. Cheers!
I lovet he expression of that face!
can we see the original phohot which inspired you ? I'm intregued as to what it looks like.
Like them crazy eyes!
I lovet he expression of that face!
very cute!
Great piece, great inspiration!
that would be very sad... I am sad just thinkig about that... great post!
Adorable!
God I love the eyes! What a great idea to go off of a drawing by a child for this topic. I love it - very cool!
It's the multiple pupils in her eyes that speak out to me, the cat is getting her revenge by multiplying her vision... wierdly cool!
That's got to be a tough line to deliver... We've got a cat with a death wish who flirts with death everytime I come into the driveway.
Love the illustration.
What an awesome illo!...and, I hope I never have to hear those words! Great take on the "sorry" theme!
Love those button eyes!
