Just what are these four up to on New Year’s Eve?

“The Usual Suspects”

Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop!

You can find it here:
theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/7828...
“The Usual Suspects” giclée art print Here we have four mysterious, furtive and highly suspicious-looking black cats with glowing eyes, sitting together on a park bench, late at night, under the light from a lamppost. Are they plotting something nefarious - or just mischievous? Or, has the deed already been done? Or are they just four good friends gathered together to enjoy each other's company, who happen to look guilty?

“Bullseye” giclée art print We’re in the middle of autumnal woods and the leaves are falling. Our cat friend has been enjoying a solitary, undisturbed meander amongst the trees, savoring the sights, sounds, and smells, when a rather bold leaf has the temerity to land on and stick to the middle of his face. Such undignified effrontery! He is clearly quite consternated. A rather bemused little bird looks on from a safe distance in the branches above. Rendered in black ballpoint pen & coloured pencil. The leaf is the only thing in the drawing that’s in colour.

“Mise en Scène pour la Nuit” available as an original ink drawing and as a giclée art print The title is "Mise en Scène pour la Nuit". The stage has been set for the night's events. The characters involved have assembled. (Yes, I consider the crescent moon, park bench, topiary hedge, and the lamp post all as players in my 'production'.) What might transpire tonight in this hidden, lonely corner of the old park? Are they waiting for another, as yet unseen participant to join them? You might think it unfair, but I'm leaving it up to your imagination to create the scenario and whatever story may follow. My drawings are collaborations between myself and the viewer. It takes your mind to complete them.

“Within a Galaxy of Leaves” available as an original ink drawing and as a giclée art print In a clearing, a noble white cat sits mesmerized by the open volume at her feet. Is it a favourite book revisited or something new? She reads by the generous light of the crescent moon which has kindly lowered itself from the night sky to provide illumination. The scene is framed by swaying grasses in the foreground and a mysterious white column. Behind her is a curtain of flowing, dark swirling leaves forming constellations of churning galaxies a la Van Gogh. Below the leaves, in the background, a shadowy figure lurks. Is all this actually happening or is it the dreamlike imaginings of the cat as she reads her book?

That said, I do have some items designed by @artofrob.bsky.social that I know will be received well: a journal for a creative, whimsical relative; a large mug for a tea-drinking Halloween enthusiast; cards for a gardener who appreciates people (and cats) who appreciate gardens.
A wire bound journal with a cover depicting a moon in a tree and a cat enjoying the moon’s company; a 15-oz mug decorated with a cartoon black cat, a moon that has a jack-o-lantern face, and a raven; and a set of greeting cards that depict a cat ecstatically sniffing flowers in a garden.

And prints hanging on a wall are NOT CLUTTER, which makes them an even better gift!

And if you don’t have room at home, they can be hung in your soulless cubicle at the office, which makes them an even better, BETTER gift!

“The Yearning for Adventure” *available as an original ink drawing and as a giclée art print Hark! What was that?! Our feline friend has heard mysterious noises emanating from out in the garden. Were the sounds an ‘it’ or a ‘them’? She thinks she sees shadowy shapes dart across the lawn and slither through the shrubbery. The poor cat is trapped indoors. All she wants is to leap through that window into a moonlit landscape of wild curiosity filled with unknown and unseen excitements - and perhaps an exploit or two of good old mischief.

I have a new Print Bundle Sale: Cats and Windows!
25% OFF for a limited time.
The titles in this bundle are: "3 a.m." and "The Yearning for Adventure".
The 2 prints normally total $60.00. In this sale, they're $45.00, and shipping is free.
It’s 3 AM in suburbia and someone is still awake. A silhouetted cat sits on a windowsill behind open blinds peering out at a mysterious nighttime world. This is her favourite post in the house. From here she can look out over the expansive lawn and clipped hedges. Her humans have long since gone to bed. There is streetlight shining on the house, hedges and lawn. She’s hoping to see something – anything – move about in the shadows. She listens intently for any rustle in the leaves, snap of a twig, or scampering over the grass. For now, all is silent except for the faint rush of a passing car. The night belongs to her. I’ve drawn this in ballpoint pen in a very fine, wispy cross-hatching style trying to achieve that vague, mysterious tonality seen at that hour. I take a lot of walks at night, and this is a home I’ve passed several times, complete with the lit window. I always imagine a cat sitting there, and the beauty is that I can make it so. This is a companion piece of sorts with “The Yearning for Adventure”, also available in my Etsy shop. Hark! What was that?! Our feline friend has heard mysterious noises emanating from out in the garden. Where the sounds an “it” or a “them”? She thinks she sees shadowy shapes dart across the lawn and slither through the shrubbery. The poor cat is trapped indoors. All she wants is to leap through that window into a moonlit landscape of wild curiosity filled with unknown and unseen excitements – and perhaps an exploit or two of good old mischief.

“Claire, the Lunatic” giclée art print The crescent moon is poised gracefully on its side atop the garden gate, as if having a nice little rest. Or, is the moon visiting Claire the cat? Claire is a bit eccentric; some in the neighborhood even say she’s mad…downright crackers. In actuality, she’s just on a different wavelength, enabling her to request a social visit from the moon. After all, she sits outside and stares at the moon almost every night, meowing softly, as if in conversation. What do they talk about?
