Ink stippling with rapidograph pens

in the summer in 1977, I was at my desk and my first cat Fuzzy (a black longhair) was sitting on the foot of the bed. I did a couple of sketches of her, then decided to tigerize her. I remember it like yesterday.

This was always one of my favorite pieces and one of the motivating factors that got me drawing again in 2010 after 31 years.
