• Three Little Kittens

    long haired black foster kitten at 6 weeks oldKonrad and I picked up three little foster kittens yesterday morning. They are the smallest things you ever did see, but man are they a handful. We were chasing after them for hours and it was finally 10pm before I realized I hadn’t really eaten anything all day.

    One of the kittens is obsessed with Konrad, and protests loudly if he leaves the room or stops paying attention to him. The grey one gives me sleepy eyes that remind me of my Skye, and the third has been dubbed Too Shy, but is quickly learning how nice life can be for a lap cat.

    Our littles aren’t too sure about them and keep to themselves for the most part. We joke about their wild sides, but these three are making Skye and Nathan seem so well-mannered!

  • The Original Pantone Color Guide Was an 800 Page Tome From 1692

    watercolor guide bookI came across the most amazing art book after following a link from twitter yesterday.

    In the late 17th century, an artist chronicled watercolors in all their hued, tonal, glory. The book is nearly 800 pages long, and completely handwritten and painted. Amazing.

    And in an incredible connection of old world meets new technology, you can browse the entire work online. There’s just something so mesmerizing about color swatches.

  • Early Retirement

    cat lounging in the sunNo apologies for the cats on cats on cats. All the recent photos on my phone and computer are of cats. Do you think I like cats?

    With recent days in the 70s and 80s it’s hard to do anything but spend my days exactly as I like. Waking up without an alarm, making art, going on bike rides, and dining out more than eating in. I try to model my life after this Pinterest board.
