It’s Saturday, so I’m MIA in Blogosphere but I have today’s A to Z Challenge illustration which was inspired by vintage photograph of a nude woman wearing a drape, sorta. My sketch no doubt comes from a image locked in my brain from long ago.
Since it’s the weekend, I thought I’d put together a playlist to round out my artwork theme. Hit play to enjoy!
Picture Taking Playlist tracks:
- Vogue ~Madonna
- Freeze Frame ~J. Geils Band
- Girls On Film ~Duran Duran
- Photography ~Def Leppard
- Kodachrome ~Paul Simon
- Photography ~Ringo Starr
- Photgraphy ~ Nickelback
- Heaven ~Warrant
- Centerfold ~J. Geils Band
- Photographs and Memories ~Jim Croce
Most of these inspired song picks came from The 25 Best Songs About Photography You Can Put Your Hands On Right Now.
Thanks for stopping by today. Before you go, let me point out, all previous A2Z posts are listed in my side menu this month, so you won’t miss a thing. Don’t forget to leave your footprints (direct URL) in comments so I can find my way back to you easily.
What’s up next? If you’re a weekend blogger then you’re invited to join me tomorrow for Songsational Sundays for inspirational, sometimes spiritual mewsic to reel your soul back on track with life. Have a good day and be well!

This gal draped seductively is beautifully rendered and I commend you on your memory…I can’t do that. I watched that video Tom sent and it is too funny
Birgit,
Thanks! The reference image I used gave me a good start. When I was younger I was a bit fascinated with women who posed for artists. Who knew I’d grow up to draw my own? Yeah that parody Tom shared is a great! There are some clever people out there coming up with some fun stuff. Laughter will help us to get through this mess a little better.
Love your pinup girls! And a great playlist.

Hey Cat our Linky isn’t working I tried it a couple of times and nothing. I put it in there and look at my blog & poof! Could you please take a look at the email you sent me maybe??? Or wait I can do one and send it… nah that will mix everything up in… maybe I’ll go look at everyone else’s.
Lovely sketch! Looks like you’re having fun with the challenge. Keep it up.

I am having fun with the challenge like always despite my frizzy state of mind. lol Thanks for visiting, my dear!
Pretty woman in the drawing. Good job!
Thank you, MsJadeli!
You are welcome
Oh boy, what a great Post. Your picture the young lady was probably having a massage in a salon and they wrap up in sheets. It’s definitely excellent. Your tunes are great too… I haven’t heard Vogue in a long time. Madonna is so young there. Oh funny, I remember FREEZE FRAME! GREAT GAME & TONS OF FUN! STAY HOME VOGUE IS HYSTERICAL… hahahaha Luv it! Thanks for sharing Cat! I had tons of fun here. Have a good weekend luvie! HUGS
Thanks for joining me, Marie! I’m happy to share some old mewsic with you and I’m equally happy that you enjoyed my daily sketch.
That came out great. Have a nice weekend. XO
Thank you, Ellen!
Last time I looked at Wikipedia about it, I learned that George Harrison helped Ringo write “Photograph.” They were very close.
I like the drawing, especially since it came from memory.
John,
I think I recall reading that George helped Ringo with the lyrics of “Photograph”, too. I’m glad you like my sketch!
Cool art, we think she’s up to something!
Yeah, I keep expecting her to drop that drape. Boy, that’ll be a big surprise for someone! lol
I like this Madonna’s song:)
Kinga,
Thanks for visiting and enjoying some mewsic, my dear!
Happy Weekend! Your drawing is beautiful.
Thanks for reminding me about changing the link on that last post, it’s something i’ve been meaning to do and finally found a quick minute.
Mimi,
I’m happy to serve as a reminder. I’m always happy when someone does the same for me. Often I get so busy in Blogosphere I forget to do something simple.
Hi, Cathy!
Happy Saturday and “P” Day, dear friend!
It’s interesting that today’s drawing was not inspired by Elvgren or one of the other classic pinup artists. It is one of your own creation, inspired by the vague memory of a vintage photograph you saw somewhere along the way. The semi nude woman is lithe and lovely. Lucky for her, unlucky for Shady,
the drape and her hand conceal her private parts. I hope you can bring her back to us In Living Color at some point in the future.
I enjoyed your set of songs related to Picture Taking. I knew all of them except the one by Nickelback. Represented in this batch are some of the most memorable music videos played on MTV and VH1 in the 80s. My favorites among them are the two different “Photograph” songs, one by Def Leppard and the other by Ringo. The first song, the Madonna hit “Vogue,” was the inspiration of a recent Chris Mann coronavirus parody video. If you haven’t yet seen it, take a look:
I wish you and DH and your children a safe, healthy and happy weekend, dear friend Cathy!
Tom,
Yep, I pulled from my imagination mostly for my ‘P’ prompt illustration. In the coming weeks, I will revamp all the last sketches using Procreate to bring them in living color and since you’re one of my regular readers then I hope you don’t miss out on the revisions. Thanks for sharing the Coronavirus parody which is new-to-me and made me smile. It’s wonderful people are turning to humor to make this dreary time more fun.
