Into space is the second piece on the red cat series<\/a>. The basic idea was inspired by a previous drawing. I wanted to draw a scene where the cat is jumping into a cosmic adventure. I also started this one with a sketch on tracing paper that became the template for the CNC cutting.<\/p>\n

In this case I painted the frame with black gesso (instead of just staining it as with the previous one<\/a>). I painted the double edge with colored pencils and the waves with red acrylic ink.<\/p>\n
