My cat Slinky had a small cyst removed and came home from the vet in a shirt! She doesn’t seem to mind it at all, this may be the start of a new fashion phase for her…

Happy New Year!

Kick it off by checking out my lucky cat paintings at the Maneki Neko Art Show at:
Showroom NYC
117 2nd Ave 2nd floor
corner of 7th street, NYC

It runs just from January 5-6 12-8 PM. Don’t miss it!

This is a cool site about cats with jobs (at bodegas, bookstores, etc.). Very cute!

LCRW is a fiction zine edited by Kelly Link & Gavin J. Grant of the venerable Small Beer Press and I am very pleased to be a part of it! I did a one page comic from the world of Dolltopia. Here is a snippet. You can order it at this link.

Here’s a shot of the 2nd maneki neko painting I did for the upcoming show at The showroom in NYC. The show will be in January, I’ll be posting details as we get closer.

Here’s a shot of both paintings on my art table.

I’ve been feverishly working away on Dolltopia and am making great progress. Dolltopia 2 will be ready for MOCCA 2008 (and possibly Dolltopia 3)! Here is one of my fave panels (before the toning).

Presenting my first painting in years! It will be part of an art show opening in January at The Showroom. The theme is Maneki Neko (Japanese Lucky Cats) so I thought it was perfect that I was invited to take part in this show. I love Maneki Neko and have a few of them in my room. I haven’t painted in a long while and it was fun (and a little intimidating) to get back into. I have plans to get more paintings happening, especially some blow-ups and take-offs on my comic panels that I particularly like.

I’ve been working on some new comic ideas and doing lots of house stuff all weekend. After yesterday’s rain I went out and checked on my terrace garden. I have a few flowers here and there including portulaca (which has been growing weed-like in a few of my pots), petunia, and my heliotrope is coming back. The Coleus I planted about a few weeks ago is popping up nicely! The big news is peaches! My peaches have matured and are poppin off the tree. My mom suggested I bake a peach crumble, so I did. I improvised since I didn’t have flour around, I used pancake mix instead combined with melted butter and sugar (I didn’t have brown sugar on hand). Worked like a charm!
I also took some new pics of Slinky!

You may have heard about my cat, Slinky. Here are finally some pics. It’s hard to get good pics of her since she usually blinks at the flash. But I got some winners the other day. Awww…
