Artist Laura Keenados (cat) crushes Inktober …

 

6pm, October 31st.

Penelope Kitten sits at the kitchen table doggedly trying to draw an illustration for her idol, Laura Keenados of Bad Cat Pomegranate.

She has a difficult time holding the black felt pen in her paws.

Marcy enters dressed as Marie Antoinette.

Marcy:  C’mon, P. Get in your costume. It’s almost time for trick or treating.

penelope kitten (squeaking):  can’t.

The pen flies out of  Penelope’s paw and onto the floor. She patiently retrieves it and resumes drawing.

penelope kitten:  #inktober is almost over. i need to get an illustration to laura before midnight.

Marcy:  You’ll never get it done ’cause you don’t have thumbs.

The pen flies across the room.

penelope kitten (chasing after her pen):  gotta try.

Cynthia enters, dressed as Luke Skywalker. She glances over at the computer.

Cynthia:  Oh look! It’s Bad Cat Pomegranate’s Instagram page where artist, Laura Keenados, is participating in #Inktober2017. That’s where artists post an illustration every day of October according to a pre-set theme or “prompt” of the day.

penelope kitten:  yeah yeah. laura’s cat illustrations are super awesome.

Cynthia (scrolling through):  Oh wow! These are cat-tastic!

 

 

 

 

 

penelope kitten:  here’s my all-time fave even tho it’s not for inktober.

 

Cynthia:  So sweet and majestic!

penelope kitten:  yeah yeah. i wanna express myself thru art and be whimsical and sophisticated and fantastical. just like laura.

Cynthia:  Let’s see what you’ve got so far.

Penelope Kitten shows off her drawing.

Marcy:  Whatever. Your drawing is nothing but scribbles. You’re going to miss all the trick-or-treating candy.

penelope kitten (busily drawing and dropping her pen):  all i need are my “three p’s” – perseverance, patience, and panache – and i’ll be –

She freezes.

penelope kitten (stricken):  i forgot about the candy.

Cynthia:  I bet Laura won’t be mad if you’re a little late with a drawing –

Cynthia looks a Penelope’s drawing attempts again.

Cynthia:  – or you know… even a lot late.

Penelope races off to change into her Van Gogh Zombie Halloween costume.

Marcy:  Let them eat cake pops.

penelope kitten (squeaking):  and candy corn.
