Having a two year old can be very inspiring. When Tiny-Small asked me to make her some cat mermaids I was up for the challenge. How could I refuse such an adorable little face with an adorable little voice? She even said please.
So, I went above and beyond what she originally asked for. I took things a step further. I made her a caticorn and a unidog.
It’s silly.
I know.
Still, I loved every minute of it.
Why don’t adults spend more time doing silly things? It’s fun!
Why don’t people do things that are more fun in general? You can’t work all of the time. Sometimes you have to giggle, and laugh and accidently snort milk through your nose. It’s what kids do.
Kids know how to live. If you have forgotten how then go find a two year old to hang out with. They make the best teachers.
Remember too, homemade Valentines cards are the best because you can write anything you want in them. You can write, “I love you more than caticorns and unidogs.” Now, that is really saying something.
This is EPICALLY fantastic on so many levels.
Thanks! We’re like onions around here with all of our layers.
A.ma.zing.
When you pair the brain of a two year old with a mom holding scissors so many amazing things can happen!
I LOVE IT!! This is the kind of work and detail that will get you in galleries all over the world. You are so freaking talented!!!
I really do hope I become famous for caticorns. That would be both hilarious and awesome.
I had this picture of you snorting milk through the nose lol Caticorns and Unidogs rule!! More! More! More!
The milk thing has happened to me before…I did it with soda once too (that hurts!).
hah, caticorns! They made me think of the “Lasercats” one shown on SNL…Epic, epic.
Everyone likes being silly!
That moment when someone says you remind them of SNL? That is pure gold! 🙂
haha enjoy that moment then, you deserve it! ;)))
Too funny! Love them!!
Thank you! I have been entertained all day by these.
The caticorns are cute, but I like the mercats better. They are just perfect – what cat would not love to be able to outswim and catch fish?
That would be an advantage. I need to work on the horn placement. I think they could be more realistic (ha!). The mermaid cats are my favorite too.
Holy carp. This was BRILLIANT. tweeting, for sure. Maybe two people will click on the link. Sharing on fb. Lillian… The world needs you. I am so grateful to know you and have a rooster all my own. Those caticorns and unidogs are outstanding. Love love love. And I meant holy “carp” — do something with that. A carp with a halo. Xoxo
Carpicorn?
carpicorn. a taciturn carpicorn. you are a genius. God needed you, LC, to make better animals.
Haha! Pretty sure you God is laughing pretty hard right now.
SO MUCH FUN! Tiny Small is lucky to have such a creative mama!
She’s my mini-muse! 🙂
I heart your art. I realize that sounds funny to say out loud. Oh, and a little something special, just for you. <3 http://mylifeaslucille.blogspot.com/2013/01/who-me.html
Thank you!
At the risk of offending the feline-lovers of America, I really love the unidog.
Unidogs rule and cats drool. That’s just the truth.
You are unbelievably adorable! Those are so cute! 🙂 I love the cat mermaid with the flower!
Thank you! I am going to try scanning them in to the computer and see if I can make some prints.
