Sexy Legs

At first glance, not a real special cat, but I like this one myself. I bought the rose red acryl paint about a week ago and was curious how it would look in real. It's the purplish red inner stripe line in the tiger stripes. He has skinny legs for such a compact fat cat. Those are real sexy legs...

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.
