Spy 2of2: Spy cat illustration©

This cat was a joy to construct. It was partly collage, part digital. My computer actually froze and I lost a lot of work but
managed to skip the exploring steps as I knew exactly what I was aiming for. The reason for my subject? Not sure about you but cats seem to be born to spy and slink and are ever watchful and curious. Comments are appreciated and please take a gander at my other Illustration friday submission for "spy".

He is so cute, and he makes a great spy, handsome and a bit mysterious, I like the hat tipped down over his left eye,nice touch. Awesome work!

Your "spy" cat is great is your "total disdain" cat. You should do a tutorial on how you created them. Also, thanks for the comment on my collage. I've really enjoyed experimenting for Illustration Friday.
