Up for grabs is the original line-art illustration by Celtic artist Ingrid Houwers, featuring the cheeky knotwork tabby of the ‘Whiskers in the Jar' album by Marc Gunn.
The image is 40 x 40 centimeters in size, and has been tastefully and professionally framed. The striking double mount makes both the initial raw line-work drawing and the finished CD-jacket come together nicely. Below the images feature the two autographs from both artists; musician on the left and illustrator on the right.
The lucky winner of this auction will not only receive this wonderful collectors item, but will (of course) also receive a CD of the album it is all about. As the bard himself describes the album;
“It all began with a phone call. I started meowing in the middle of “Wild Rover”. Then I wrote my first cat song. Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers was born. The CD was wildly popular. Before I knew it I had people asking when I would release my next Cat CD. Sure, I had a few songs already written, but not enough for a second CD. I spent the next two years writing some songs and asking fans of the first album to submit some lyrics. The results are now here!
The album features twelve songs and two sets of Irish tunes. The songs are a mix of Irish and Scottish songs rewritten about cats. You'll hear songs about cats eating catnip, waking you up in the middle of the night, staring off into nothingness. You'll laugh as cats take over a dairy farm, splashing milk all over the place or a nice feline friendly twist to the Sylvester and Tweety Bird cartoon. Cats fight off canine pack recruitment and Harry Potter makes an appearance as does cat cloning. No really! It's twisted, but amazing fun.”
