This drawing is called “Fly Away Kitty.” It features a blue background with a large pixelated cat held up by three balloons. In the background there are white clouds, a yellow sun, and an airplane flying across the X horizon. When the viewer presses the mouse down, a red heart will appear.  It is a moving picture; the cat and the balloons float up and down.

I drew inspiration from the video game titled “Minecraft” and the Disney movie titled “Up”. When put together, a pixelated video game aura is created.
