Illustration Friday: Zoo School for Big Cats

zoo_school.jpg

The Illustration Friday theme this week is Zoo, but I kept thinking about the new Leopard operating system on my Mac. Then I remembered that all the previous Mac OS X operating systems were named for big cats, and I thought the big cats might have to go to school to learn the difference between a mouse and mouse. So this is my Zoo School for Big Cats. (click on it for a bigger version).The big cats in class from left to right are: Leopard, Cheetah, Tiger, Puma, and Jaguar. Now it probably makes sense why I was drawing big cats in my last post.

  1. in light of being upgraded to a G5, this illustration totally resonates with me. :)

  2. Wonderful kitties. I miss mine.

  3. I love your cats – I too have upgraded (I think I qualify as a geek now). A cool thing in the mail program is that it recognises addresses too and even gives the option of a Google Map – how cool is that?

  4. Very funny! I have been wondering what Jobs will do when he runs out of big cats.

  5. I prefer to say your ‘zoo’ look uniqe than weird :)

    I made my zoo start with pencil for the drawing outline and then I mix with photoshop…using the brush for the background and color..

  6. meowwww…. can’t wait to see this in a quilt!

  7. Very cute! And I like Mac too!! Creative!

  8. Very funny. At least one cat needs to be self-absorbed, maybe napping or bathing or playing with a PC based product.

  9. What could be better – catz and macs .. both favorites ! Great illustration !

  10. LOL! Love the illustration! Super cute!

  11. I love your illustration!

    I have my reservations about Leopard though. Too many things keep crashing. :(

  12. can’t wait to upgrade!! very cute illustration!
