The effect was created with Befunky:- Sunburst + Underpainting DLX + colour changes to hue and saturation.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and see if mew can beat our time of 9 mins 48 secs. Slower than last weeks, but it did take up a while to find all the edge pieces! MOL



Anyhoo it's time for us to go get a snack as we're absolutely starving aftur making that epic art! MOL 

We'll be back on Tuesday with the next riveting, gripping, nerve-wrangling chapter in our Summer Blockbuster re-run; The Clockwurk Labyrinth, so we do hope mew can stop by.

In the meantime, we wish mew a uber relaxed day...

Welcome To


Pawesome Greetings Dudes and Dudettes

Welcome to another arty-farty post and let me just tell me what I've been up to since mew last saw me.  I've been doing my own paintings, yep it's true and here's one of my efforts...



This is a painting of our gorgeous sisfur, Snowie.  I call it:

Bungly Jungly Snowie



Now let me show mew the main event, the P.A. decided to get something special fur us all this Valentine's Day and she surprised us with this.
She made this pic in an app a while ago - she can't remember which app - anyhoo she found the pic in her camera roll a few weeks ago and loved it that much she pootled to Vistaprint and had it turned into a 40 x 60 cm canvas to try.  And it came out so fab it made her cry, she's just deciding whether to frame it or not, so it's sitting in the sky lounge on the desk right now where we get to admire it effuryday.

The P.A. loves it, I mean really loves it, so it was an artful success!


And furry quickly before I go, I'm also joining gorgeous Athena on the...

**New Post** Getting All Arty-Farty with The Artful Fudger featuring King Basil

Welcome To


Pawesome Greetings Dudes and Dudettes

Welcome to another arty-farty post and as it's by Basil's good graces that I've finally got my own post, I thought it would be nice to share his pawtrait  just before we hung it up.



Little did we know that Basil had crept supurr stealthily into the kitchen and was watching our appraisal from the bench-top next to the cooker - sneaky!


So we're all agreement that the Tate Gallery in London needs this pawtrait gracing its walls, and we're hoping to hear from them furry soon to ask fur it fur their next exhibition! MOL 

If mew missed my previous post, here's the link

Don't furget to stop by fur our regular Sunday Selfies post tomorrow and many thanks fur joining me fur my second post, and I'll get some more exciting cat art to share with mew soon.

**New Post** Getting All Arty-Farty with The Artful Fudger featuring Fab Posters from Newton's Cats

Welcome To


Pawesome Greetings Dudes and Dudettes

Fudge here, or purrhaps I should use my new fandango title recently bestowed upon my little self which is; The Artful Fudger, and as mew can see I take my new role furry seriously, in fact so seriously I took a trip to one of the wurlds top museums just the other day to immerse myself in the whole arty-farty vibe and soak up all that cultural essence.

I even took my easel, a couple of blank canvasses, my paint box and a few other things to really get into the art wurld with vigour and gusto. I'd just got effurything set up in the Old Masters Room, my brush was loaded with paint and I was just in the throws of creating an old master all of my own...

and at this point I'd hardly made any mess at all in the museum, there were only a couple of paint splatters on the marble floor, and a bit of nip jam which fell out of my sandwich but still, all really easy to clean up!

...when I was brutally accosted** by some rather irate security guards and formally removed from the premises forthwith and my artist materials thrown out aftur me, funnily enough I didn't get my lunch back - seriously I have no idea what their boggle was but I think they should write to Parsley post haste, it wurked fur me! 

[**don't wurry, I went back under cover of darkness and gave those self-righteous security guards something to really get their boggles bugged - Ginger Ninja 392 vs Security Guards 0, Nil Point, Zip, Nada or Nothing Mew LOSERS! Muwahahahahahhaaaaaaaa!**  Oh and some of the Old Masters had a little touch-up too - OOPS!  ROFLMAO]


Pandora was going to take the lead on this sponsored* post on her Fashion with Felines, until Basil said completely out of the blue, "Fudge dude, I have a mission should mew choose to accept it, are mew up fur the challenge?"

I must say he was trying so hard not to laugh as he said that, which I thought was rather odd but anyhoo I replied. "Commander Basil I'll accept any mission mew give me!"

"Good job, now mew're going to be our new Cultural Attache and your new title is, The Artful Fudger, so go get 'em recruit and share all that arty-farty vibe!"

Cor blimey, mew could have knocked me offur with my furry own tail, dipped me in treacle and rolled me in catnip I wouldn't have been any more surprised!

But can mew believe that Basil actually gave me my furry own post, so I'm now The Cultural Attache fur BB HQ, how EPIC is that? Epically so fur sure! 

So let's get our culture on and happening, and see what I've got to show mew today.


A couple of weeks ago we received an email from...

... who asked if we'd like to review their kitty themed posters, "Of course we would!" we replied, and so let's dive in and see this weeks supurr fun and whimsically adorable masterpieces, which are based on the artists furry own gorgeous felines.

AUTUMN CAT - A3SPRING CAT - A3
SUMMER CAT - A3WINTER CAT - A3

From top left clockwise:

Autumn Cat ~ Spring Cat ~ Summer Cat ~ Winter Cat

Each poster is printed on 'just off-white' 300gsm paper, with a 1cm border round the edge.
Size is A3 - 297mm x 420mm or 11.7 inches x 16.5 inches and will fit a standard A3 frame.
Aren't they just fabulous and here's me doing my furry furst arty-farty appraisal...
Now I don't know if mew have effur done any art appraisals before, but I did a little research on Mewgle and the subject is as broad as it is long, and aftur 3 minutes and 13 seconds of speed reading I promptly fell asleep! MOL [speed reading is really hard wurk].  

Anyhoo, Mewgle didn't really give me answer I was looking fur so in true Fudge style, I decided to listen to my highly honed and supurr sprightly instincts and just go with it...

Furst I gave them the paw inspection, I then lightly nibbled a few edges. I rolled on them all [the P.A. had a bit of a conniption at this point - "Paws, fangs and fur!" she exclaimed in horror]. I tried rolling on them all at once and then individually to see if there was a difference to feel and texture - No there wasn't. I soaked up all the arty-farty essence via osmosis and let me tell mew, it was epic fun! 

The colours are vividly striking and just pop off the page in real life, the quality of the paper is fantastic and framed I just know that they will look marvellous. The design and style is such fun, and I love the comical and happy vibe they have.

Can mew guess why the Spring Kitty is my favourite?  because he has a ginormous floof tail of course! MOL  

Amber's obvious favourite was the Summer Kitty.

Pandora loved the Autumn Kitty.

and

Parsley's top pick was the Winter Kitty.

They are all gorgeous, alone or in the complete set of four, and if mew're looking fur some fun, colourful art fur your home these are purrfect!

Now the P.A. didn't get chance to buy any frames before I did the post but as soon as they're framed - she's got a specific white frame in mind fur them - I'll do a little follow up to show mew how they look in the library, as Amber says they're hers now. [And we all know what Amber wants, Amber gets - remember the tank incident - oops did I say that aloud?!!!]

I would like to say a special thank mew to the pawesome peeps and cats from Newton's Cats fur giving me the oppurtunity to review their epically epic posters ~ THANK MEW FURRY MUCH!
