Matt Daniels aka stickypop had some tragic news recently, his girlfriend Emma passed away suddenly after battling with an illness. In her memory Matt is putting on a art show, with the proceeds going to charity, and what you see above is my piece for it.

You see, the theme for the show was “Sailors & Cats”, as those 2 were some of Emma’s favourite things. He also supplied us a set of 5 colours to use, so all the pieces flow together.

After having a think, I wanted to try something different and thought about why not using a famous cat and doing my take on it. Then, i thought, why not go the whole hog and mix both a famous cat and sailor together! Well the idea was set and after lots of tracing, path tweaking and shape bending, it all came together, I call it “Hello Sailor”!

I’m really happy with this, it was a lot of fun putting it together and will hopefully make people smile at the show. If it does, well then my job is done :)
