Clutter

Illustration Friday is about "Clutter" today. I find comfort in clutter. I love stacks of books and piles of art supplies and interesting things spilling over onto curious shapes... and the scene isn't complete without a cat on top of it all, asleep.
Have a great week! Autumn is coming! It's 65 degrees in East Texas... that's cool for us!
Take care, God Bless You!- John

John, I love the line quality in your work! It seems intensive, but fun at the same time! You've captured the word!

beautiful work John, I don't so much like clutter, I just can't help creating it when I'm working! :)

nice scene, a clutter of books is one of the greatest kinds of clutters. I like the cat, too.

Lovely artwork. Looks a lot like my studio, constantly cluttered and piles of books.

You are brave to experiment.
Love your details:
The contrast of your line work VS. the color toning here.
Well done! Your piece stands out against the faint line work.
