the circus truck and a cat and a hat - 100 drawings in 100 days


well, i am still enjoying the machines... the first drawing here is called "the circus truck parts ii", and shows the cleverness of this artist to put together an entire truck kitted out with rusty old tools and parts-turned art. they are almost little portraits of people that the artist must have known, or perhaps they just began looking like figures and faces to him.

the other drawing, "the hat and the cat" is a self-portrait with my kitty, atticus finch-de Shan (from gregory peck's character in "to kill a mockingbird). while i was in melbourne, i acquired this gorgeous top-hat from the oldest hatter in melbourne - they've been there since melbourne became a city! it was such a quaint little old shop too!

booger - 100 drawings in 100 days

i just received an email from a dear friend in oklahoma city, telling me that my kitty, booger, has a bladder infection. apparently, they are quite common with cats, but do have a tendency to recur quite frequently. he was in the kitty hospital overnight, and has to go back again tonight, so i am very sad...

booger was named as such by the marking under his right nostril - a brown smudge. so, i had to call him "booger", as is the name of this drawing.

i hope you get well soon, booger!

so, how do you feel since reading this blog?
