It’s a challenging #Caturday but I keep forgetting to post on them. Axl’s purrs mean “I believe that we will win”

That fashion icon? Always! Do you know the true story of them? They were Pat Boone branded glasses!

(My handle on a music discord is Elana “Unsolicited Byrds Facts” Levin and they made me this meme).

Share someone who looks stylish wearing boots. (3 out of 4 kinks counts but especially Dave who’s wearing enough boot to shod the entire British Invasion)

I love the internet for finding the set list of a show I went to in 1992 when I was in middle school. I mean….
That’s magic.
(This was the first show I went to where I asked a parent to take me vs shows where going was a family activity). Get ready for @marchxness.bsky.social !

It’s not a super common nickname but it’s the wet furless part of their noses. They have many different shapes and colors and look like they could use them as a stamp (but shouldn’t).

Axl is showing his support.

Or I’ll use CP to do detail on paintings. That works realllly well. Like if I ever post any detailed paintings (vs my muppets pieces) assume there’s some details in drawn in colored pencil as final layer

I am too heavy handed to make that work & there’s literally no other instruction online. I think I’d need literal hands on instruction to understand how to even do that technique. But I’ll use CP for a more “naive” effect or if playing with colored monochromes. Like this.

Friend in Westchester NY is trying to place a very friendly cat that hangs out in their yard. The cat is good with other cats. Please spread the word. They’ll have to go to aspca if it gets much colder (yes they built a temp shelter plz read the screenshot). #adoptdontshop #Westchester #PeekskillNY

Ooooo and an audio book? Whether I do audio book or print may come down to if there’s photos and stuff. I’m really excited for your book. I might read it out loud to Axl (my cat, not the artist).

Which isn’t to say there’s none of the other DCEU coming. My Peacemaker podcast episode forthcoming. But my latest drawing even isnt even comics characters — it’s The Byrds. Is there an audience for that? Idk. Maybe I make one…

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

You can tell a lot about a person based on who their favorite Muppet is.
Even as a kid I saw Gonzo in their "Whatever" crate (vs Kermit in his "frog" crate & Fozzie in his "bear"one) & thought "yes, that’s me, a Whatever”.

Happy #Caturday from Axl and his amazing face. He is purring so musically right now.

I need to stop drawing so small. FFS. It’s a 9x12 sketchbook and I’m drawing like it’s 5X8 and losing my mind because I can’t fix eyeballs this tiny without erasing eyelids. Blaaaaaaa

…For when you’ve sent fruit baskets and don’t know if they’ll arrive in time:

(Cards by me).

Axl’s breed = just an urchin living under the street, a hard case that's tough to beat. (#Cathrday)

Meanwhile my brother’s dog is so small & old I can hardly fathom the limits of his capacity. He weighs less than 6 pounds. He can’t reach stairs. He’s too small for every dog carrier so he has added padding in them. He gets upset if the grass touches his chin. He’s very sweet though and quiet.

Don’t forget to rest your fuzzy punim on your fluffy henteleh after a long hard week of doing cat business. #Caturday
(Axl is from the streets of Brooklyn so we presume he speaks Spanish and Yiddish)

My friend made this meme for me. So you can see why I had to share your post.
December 12, 2025 at 5:52 AM
He just announced the plan to do so in his news letter last night
