This drawing may at first seem like a dramatic departure from all of my previous work. In fact the roots of this piece, and the series, Form, predates all of my previously published work. These works have there origins in drawing exercises that I have been doing since I was a child. More on this series in future posts and on the new page on my web site which is coming soon.

The reason that I haven't posted any new paintings for a while is because my digital camera finally died (no big loss). It took a while to research, decide and finally buy a new one. I have been working, I just haven't been able to photograph it. Thanks for your patience.

I don't normally like to show my photographs. This was taken back in December on a foggy night with Nikon 1600 film. Pretty fast. I bought the film expressly for this purpose. I got tired of saying "I should photograph this." Maybe I'll post a few more from this roll some time.

This internal memo was discovered behind the second floor uni-sex litter box in the corporate headquarters of Purrformance, Inc.. It is unknown whether it was recovered by accident or if there was an attempt by a whistle blower to expose this disturbing display of callousness.

To all Cats:

From this point on, all inducements in the form of Pounce Treats will no longer be called Bonuses. I repeat Pounce Treats will no longer be called Bonuses. They are now to be referred to as Performance Awards.


In addition, amounts of this years performance awards will be calculated based on 2008 figures not 2009. I know that there will be a collective sigh of relief over this decision.
