So back when I used to have a lot of spare time on my hands, I loved to draw. I'm really into pop art and for a while used to draw a lot of famous TV/movie couples. My all-time favorite couple is Lucy and Ricky from "I Love Lucy." I love these pieces and plan to some day make my bedroom Lucy themed.
These first three pieces were initially drawn out in pencil, then finalized with black pens and markers. I then scanned in the finished drawings and added the color in Photoshop.
The following piece is made up entirely of black pen dots (a process called stippling).
Here is a closer look at it.
And even closer. Needless to say, this piece took quite a LONG time! But the final result was very rewarding.
I love the show so much that I named two of my indoor cats Lucy and Ricky. We had a stray female cat show up that lives outside, so I named her Ethel. Now I just need a male that I can name Fred! :)

That's all for now! Happy Thursday! —@jenerallee78
Oh Fred! Come here Fred! Haha, I love the names. :)
Also, you are quite the artist. This post is significantly undervalued with talent like that on display.
Hopefully some whales start to find your work.
Haha thank you! We kind of suspect that Ethel may be pregnant, so if she has any male kittens, one will get named Fred for sure!
I hope some whales find me as well!
Woohoo!
That is a great payout! I am so happy for you.
Some whales certainly found you. :)
I know! I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up this morning and saw how high it had jumped! So exciting!
Haha, perfect! Little Freddy may be coming.
You have quality content and you'll be rewarded for that.
Congratulations @jenerallee78!

Wow! I love that show! And I LOVE your art!!
Thank you @alovelymess! I love popping in a season of I Love Lucy when I'm feeling down. They just don't make shows like that anymore.
Oh me too! They are great!
That is so true! Kinda sad.
Are you kidding ? That's your job ?
What could be better than drawings of Lucy? A cat named Lucy! 😻 You did such an awesome job with the expressions.
Thank you! Lucille Ball had so many hilarious expressions! She is definitely fun to draw.
upvoted for the cats
That is so beautiful keep up the good work :)

Thank you! Congrats to you as well! Those are amazing photos. Following your account as well.
I never knew that's why you named her Ethel! I always thought it was because of Grandma's neighbor...
Ha, yeah right! No, Fred and Ethel are Lucy and Ricky's best friends on the show.
I used to live in Jamestown NY, where Lucy is from. There are a couple Lucy places to visit such as a museum and theater. The city has gone downhill but still something to see! They even have a statue.
The 'Scary Lucy' statue, lol! I saw they replaced it though with a MUCH better one that actually looks like her. I would LOVE to visit there sometime and see it and visit the museum. It's definitely on my bucket list!
Haha yes!! I do like the new one much better too!
Lovely work - resteeming.
Thank you so much!
Nice payout!! Just remember with the new Hardfork change, your votes carry twice the power, but your voting power diminishes much faster. So use them wisely. Did you see that there is a slider bar so you can adjust vote strength? If you turn it down to 25% your power will go a lot longer. But if you REALLY like something, then keep it at 100 percent. Just figure out what you like.
