Everyone knows that ladybugs bring luck.
But very few people know HOW the ladybugs get so darned lucky.
It’s from fairy kisses.
Whenever a ladybug isn’t feeling so lucky – the fairy smooches the ladybug on its little buggy cheek and restores its luck.

| My partner Skinney bought a bag of pears. They weren’t too ripe so he put them in a bowl on the kitchen counter. I guess no one looked at the bowl for a few days. One pear had apparently gotten really ripe and then moldy and taken over the fruit bowl The fruit bowl wasn’t a pretty site when Boss Pear took over.

Here’s the story:
Back in 2003, I adopted a runty little kitten who was given birth by a feral cat that was still a kitten herself. Timmy’s father was a gorgeous Himalayan who got out of his owner’s home and apparently wasn’t fixed either.
The runty little kitten I adopted had Cerebelluar Hypoplasia, what was explained to me is the mother had been vaccinated at one time and distemper didn’t affect her but it attacked the kittens in utero and totally wrecked them neurologically. Only 3 of the 5 kittens born lived through being born.
I was advised to euthanize her but I just felt like she should have a chance.
This kitten reminded me of Timmy from “South Park” because her head was huge and flopped over to one side, sometimes over her shoulders and slightly backwards. Her back legs didn’t work so well either.
We decided to give her the most quality of life possible because otherwise she was a happy little kitten who still liked to play as best she could.
Every day, my partner Skinney spent hours playing with her and slowly but surely she got stronger and stronger and then she filled to the brim with personality and she copped a total attitude and demanded attention, demanded play and would yell at our daughter if she stayed up after 10pm. She very much ran the house as far as she was concerned and grew to be a very large 20lb cat.
Timmy started failing in 2011 and she had dementia. I had no idea cats could get dementia but a vet told me, “If you have a brain, it’s a possibility to experience dementia”. It started off with her yelling all the time at night suddenly and the last year of Timmy’s life she spent mostly in one room upstairs and she was happy to eat, play and use the litter box, just not outside of that room.
The day she died, she came downstairs and laid down by the back door. Timmy never went outside.
She passed on surrounded by the family and loved.
I’m still sad we didn’t get more time with her, but I’m glad for the time we had.
A friend of mine said cats that pass on go over the Rainbow Bridge.
It’s a nice thought. 🙂

Are you owned by a cat?
We are.
3 furry, pushy monsters who think early every morning at the crack of nothing they need food in their bowls right then.
And they are relentless too with many years of honing their annoying to perfection.
Of course we give in and spoil them rotten.
Otherwise they’ll kick us out of the house.

This was a relaxing ACEO card.
I wanted to make someone that wasn’t in front of a computer, shut off her cell phone, and no television.
Not streaming Netflix or Amazon Prime movies.
She’s just having tea and probably looking out of a window and enjoying the view.
Stress free.
I need to do that too.

People who make a big deal out of adopting animals in need and then don’t take care of them drive me nuts. I knew someone that thought nothing of leaving her rescued dogs outside in the most violent weather, the hottest weather, and the coldest weather.

Several times in the last week, I’ve seen people passing this image of a blow-up, strap on unicorn horn for a cat. I don’t think I’d actually put one on our cats but it’s a pretty funny thought.
I bring you – the UNICAT!
And I love making Artist Trading Cards or ACEO’s (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) – you’ve been warned.

I’ve been obsessing for a while to do a clown doll. A really, obnoxious, ugly clown doll.
So this is the first sketch I did on an ACEO and it’s pretty much how I envision the final doll.
For some reason it also reminded me of my ex-mother-in-law so I named it “Leta”.
I know she’d be totally honored to know I think of her as a coulrophobia-inducing clown.

ACEO Card Set
I bumbled onto the Crime Library to read more about the Mountain Meadows Massacre and there was this other article I clicked on and it was the Top Ten Bestiality Cases. It was mugshots and a short synopsis of what these people did and I was just reading a couple thinking wow these are bad people and then I drew them and wrote my take on the synopsis on the back (basically an even shorter synopsis).
