Featured Video: Mother and Kittens
The artwork, Mother and Kittens, was sold on ebay at the beginning of the month however you can still purchase high quality art prints of this family friendly work from Red Bubble. The featured video shows you the original sketch I did for the artwork and takes you on a journey from start to finish of the painting process.
I narrate the video with information about my colour choices and more. You get to see a rare mistake when I some how managed to flick blue paint directly from the tube onto the artwork and you’ll see the trouble I had deciding on the artwork’s background.
Artwork, Content, re-listed on ebay

Content, Acrylic and chalk
on Canvas, 60 x 60cm

I haven’t painted any new artworks in the last couple of weeks though I’ve certainly got a few ideas sketched out (three, in fact, at the time of writing this). Subscribers to my Newsletter will be getting an exclusive sneak peak at these designs.
If you’d like to own an original artwork of mine then Content has been relisted on ebay at a bargain priced opening bid. Content is my oldest remaining cat artwork in my possession (the rest have been sold) and I consider it to be one of my best. I can’t continue to keep giving my art away at the prices I do so this could be your last opportunity to own a larger work at a great price.
Having Fun with Animation
I’ve discovered a recently launched, do-it-yourself, animation web site called Go-Animate and have been experimenting by creating a few animations of my own.
Way back in the late nineteen eighties and early nineteen nineties I started getting into animation in a big way but got side tracked by my college studies for Art and Design. To cut a long story short, anything that makes animation easy was always going to drag me back into animating my own cartoons.
Unfortunately with Go-Animate you can’t yet make your own animated characters, you have to use the characters available, but I’m advised they’ll be bringing this feature in very soon. Whilst I’m waiting I’ve completed a few super hero parodies, sending up Batman and Superman. Embeded on the right is my Dark Knight parody ‘The Dork Knight’ which was featured on Go-Animates home page as a ‘Staff Pick’.
You can see more of my Go-Animate cartoons including, Dorkman Begins, and Super Kent by clicking the links.
A final word from TET...
I have to admit the animation stuff has been a bit more than a distraction in the last fortnight. I’ve had plenty of ideas for new blog posts and, as I mentioned above, a few ideas for new paintings but I think I’ve been just a little obsessed with animation.
I think I’m over it for the moment because I’m getting a little tired of ‘making do’ with the existing characters. I’d much rather animate my own creations.
I’m not making any promises but hopefully next month I’ll be back with a new artwork or two and a few more blog posts too.
Until next time. Thank you for supporting Independent Art.
