I keep a digital sketchbook of abandoned doodles. One day, I was poking through its pages and ran across an image which at first, looked like an abstract mouse head.
But, as I turned it upside down, I found a cat lurking in the shapes–so I got out my Apple Pencil and played with it.
The cat began to make its presence known.
And it seemed to cry out for a body, so I obliged.
It definitely had a “cool cat” vibe, so I dressed him in a French chapeau and scarf. But something was still missing . . .
So I added a Paris street scene, and voila!–it was done.
