article: Week 8 : Flight of Fantasy | written down

This week’s art journal entry – on the key word of aloft, with a challenge to incorporate some wings into the thing – is a digital for me. I started off mucking around with my cat, Frank’s photograph and then realised that I might as well do it all in digital, given then I was either going to cut the cat out in real life, or better still – with an erasor and magic wand tool.

The opposite side is a simple background in the same green with the text : –

I sometimes wonder –

if a cat has wings,

does this still make him a cat?

And would he still

spend his time

chasing birds?

At some point – and only if I can locate a decent white marker which will actually write – I will add more journaling to the free page opposite.

This is dedicated to my old cat, Frank – who we rescued from a cat home four years ago. Frank has now entered her retirement years well and truly – and we may not have her much longer. But she brings much comfort to me, especially when I see a bit of wind up her tail when she chases trailing sticks. If Frank were to have wings, she would spend her time just flying and appreciating her time off-earth.
