Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies with Shimshi

Greetings, Effurrybuddies!

Yes, it's Me again - The Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), Furrst of My Name, The Little Purrince, aka The Baby Mancat, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard.  It is once again My Turn to lead the J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by those Delightfully and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

We have chosen no less than THREE pawtraits of Me this week, all of which have been artified using BeFunky, and framed by LunaPic.

Here is the furrst one, where I am draped artistically over two chairs, with a single dangly paw in front, and my Tail just visible behind one of the chairs:





















The artification here was created with the Vector Pop GFX filter:

















Mummy and I like this one, because it emphasises My Eyes (and Ears too, come to think of it)!


In this next picture, I am awaiting an impawtant telephone call from - ah, well, that would be telling, wouldn't it?  You are welcome to try and guess though!






















Mummy and I are furry pleased indeed with the artified version, which uses the Impressionist GFX filter:



















Finally, here I am stretched out on the stone floor tiles of the corridor, trying to keep cool, but almost climbing the walls it was so hot!




















We made an exquisitely artsy-fartsy version of this, using the Pointillism1 filter, set to about 55%. It kind of reminds Us of LunaPic's Delaunay filter, don't you think?


















Next, here are the blog hop badges:


        




We are quite late with Our Post today, because Mummy was out all meowning at the General Rehearsal for her Caterwauling Club's concert tomorrow, with the soloists and orchestra. On the plus side, that means She gets to stay home this evening with Us. Howeffur, She is furry tired, so She still needs to have her Afternoon Nap Siesta. That being the case, We will sign off now but not before reminding you that We will be back next Sunday, COD willing. Till then - be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Shimshi, I thought the first was my favorite, then I saw the second and then the third! You are one handsome cat and take great photos and make great artworks.

I hope your mummy has a good time at her concert.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
