Lorenz

I found this tube of copper paint in my local shop for artwork stuff. A nice occasion to check it out on a cat. Meet Lorentz. It's like the copper stripes are like a coil around his big silver body. Well, I don't have to explain his name isn't it. He's named after the famous Dutch Physician Hendrik Lorentz.

The force of Lorentz. Can you feel it!

Another Cheetah!

I think there must be more cheetahs. I love themI need to work on the base color. This one is nice, but it would have been better if I made the purple tone a little lighter. I love the background. It looks like home made cherry ice cream.

Let the Tiger lead you the Way.

It's hard to find your way through the jungle. This orange tiger with dark blue stripes can lead you the way and bring you love, fortune and happiness. "Come with Me" was inspired by "Come with Us" by the Chemical Brothers.

Golden Tartan

An alternative look at tartan patterns. It's silver on new gold over antique gold. A pretty blingy cat.

This weekend I got these two ducks from Hilde. She once was a student at my school and she now is almost finished with at the Tech University of Delft. She found these ducks in a shop and thought, that with a little moderation, this was a nice present for me.

There are some nice thoughts behind these ducks. These Ducks are like twins, and Hilde is half a twin, I paint cats and I'm from the Netherlands (NL). I didn't see the the third clue at once. "It's like all those shirts and hoodies you wear. They often say KIKS TYO, so I made these for you, CATS NL".

"Hey, I can remote shoot from my computer!"

Welcom to my Lucky Cat Paintings weblog

I am not really an artist or a serious painter. I just like playing around with paint. About 25 years ago I started paining deers and hunters in a very primitive style. Also I painted trees. All my paintings were signed with my Georg A. pseudonym signature (A. stands for for Alexander). This actually resulted in my nickname Sjors. Nowadays I don't know better, I am Sjors. I think I stopped painting around 1988 and concentrated me more on making music. In 2009 I was tickled again by the painting virus. I started painting funny cats, again under my Georg A. Pseudonym.

The wonderful world of Lucky Cats

I do not know where my cats came from. I had seen a paining of a kind of rectangular cat playing with a ball. I never found out who was the painter and actually do not even know what that painting looks like. If someone thinks he knows what paining it is, I actually really like to know.

My lucky cats are mostly painted in impossible colors. Some have texts written (Chinese or Japanese) on them, like the "Mushi Mushi cats". Some are inspired on old Russian holy icons. My "First Aid" teacher makes icons. I call these Holy Cats. Also there are Schottisch cats, Tortoise Cats, Candy Cats and Tiger cats. Probably even more will follow in the future.

All my cats are square or rectangular shaped and, of course, out of proportion. That is why they look so funny. I considder it a sport to let the head looks as small as possible compared to their body.

When I paint them, it's often just "another Lucky Cat". When they are placed in a room or public space, it is like they come to life. They seem to belong in that place. For that reason I sometimes hide a cat in a bag if it is dedicated to someone. The cat suposes to come to life in that person's personal space.

If you like my cats, please leave comments. Please remind I'm not a real artist.I do even not consider myself one. At the moment these cats are not for sale, although a lot of people have encouraged me to sell them.
