More Cats and Art...
George Monkey-Bum the elusive feline living amongst his humans...caught on tape for only (approximately) the second time.  He's so hilarious but catching that hilarity on camera is a far greater feat that I had anticipated when this project first began!

And Another Silent Movie Installment...
Music and Art...me hanging out a local Starbucks watching a popular local Folk Band called ~outside the lines~ and drawing....bummer it's silent but I didn't receive permissions from the Band Manager, Jen Metcalfe (www.jensbent.ca) before posting the video.  Anyway, enjoy!

Cats and Art:
Not oh so long ago, I started a series of movies on YouTube called "Cats and Art" and it stars Seamus the Wonder Brat and George Monkey-Bum...our fabulously hilarious cats; sadly, I rarely catch the hilarity on video.  What I post is still kinda funny and I am convinced someday that I will find some very hilarious material to post but until then I will keep posting laugh-fest aftermath starring uncooperative kitties!  Bratty kitties who have stolen my heart!  Cute.

This installment is entitled "Cats and Art: Seamus NOT Playing with the Celery":

A Road Trip Art Adventure...
While I was on the road this past weekend meeting my love's family, I produced some artwork in a new sketchbook that seemed to appeal to the masses of family and friends.  I thought I would share those pieces with you here.

I started a new sketchbook and this is the cover I started for it; more will be added to it of course but for now...this is what it looks like:

And the first page is now inhabited by this:
