Certain Cat like illustrations

A particular cat illustrations for a company called "Google"
(I'm sure you all heard of this place or use it as a verb in your daily life)
The top one is a composite I did based on the theme in the valley (metaphorically speaking) that everyone needs to "chase down" a Starbucks coffee or they would go absolutely ape-shit. This cat is chasing the mouse for the mouse sake or getting that four-fifty cup of sugared coffee? You decide... I shouldn't bitch, I do need it now and again.
But the top one never got sent in. I thought the face of the cat was looking really Dr. Seuss like and seemed strange to me. The mouse, however, turned out alot better than I thought.
The cat illustration just below, is the one that I submitted.
It's probably not good enough, or not what they are looking for. But what the heck, I had fun drawing these guys out.

Sketches from Lanikai, Oahu

We went to Oahu and stayed on this cool beach house on Lanikai.
So at night, when I couldn't sleep and after the kids went down (couldn't get use to the heat and was probably jet lagged) I'd sketched these from memory at 2-4am in the morning. Using the Derwent Pencil and watercolour pencils, these were fun to draw with. Now contemplating wheter I want to spend some money and get more colours because I only bought a few (red, yellow, blue, green and purple).

"Urban Dwelling

Combination of both traditional and illustrator cs2.
Sketched out the urban area with pencil, charcoal, and ink. And drew out the no leaves tree...scan them in and just used Illustrator CS2 to put them together. Ink splatter was done in acrylic paint.
This urban/ghetto area was originally an idea I had for a non-profit organization, helping and educating folks about kids living on the streets, but ended up as more of a personal design direction for me instead.
