Favorite Scratching Areas of Local Cats by Mike Lynch














"Favorite Scratching Areas of Local Cats" is a cartoon by Mike Lynch. Ink and watercolor on 90 lb. Loew Cornell "Rough Surface" watercolor paper.

I was trying out this new watercolor paper. It took to the Micron Pigma pens just fine. But, as you can see, it likes to bleed a bit much -or my brush is too wet.


Above: the rough version, a page from a sketchbook.


Above: the original. I altered it to a vertical layout in Photoshop. I also did redraw of the "scruff tugs" cat, Bertie.

  1. I wish more people were aware of the fact that bleeding lines on paper is my "style."

  3. This is fun. The local cat that keeps coming to my office likes at least 3 of these.
