My rendition of the quite talented Serge Stiles' quite mysterious Paranormal! She likes to hang out with my two little foxes, I only wish they'd let me in on what she told 'em! I'm quite honored that Serge liked my take on her character's look, but we'll have to wait for Serge to let us in on who Paranormal really is. <:)

Shirlee's right, I do like to carry her piggyback. But I prefer to face this way. :)

The well-known patron of the furry arts, Reto Roth, commissioned this pic of his characters Abakan and Shamira sharing a tender moment. All characters are (c) Reto Roth, as it should be. :)

Every so often I draw a pic that I really like! :) This is my portion of an art exchange with Sandra Gaeremynck (see her "sg-katel.jpg", it's beautiful!) and there's something about her character design that is really neat. :) I hope she likes it... at the risk of being immodest, I think I did a good job!

2003 could've been a little better, but it's the year Shirlee and I got our own place. So it's good. :)

(Just as a side note: this pic is not directed towards any of my online friends. Just a minor little vent-thru-art exercise.

Wishing you all a happy 2004. :)

Just a nice lovable pic for a nice lovable fur! The neat Zori is (c) the equally neat Mary Bellamy. :)

One of the pics I did in an e-mail art exchange with Shirley Chessler-Wakefield (I first drew her character "Tundra") in which one of her mouse characters suddenly turns into a screaming banshee-like rodent. My skilled response is to grimace as defiantly as I can whilst assuming a crotch-contorting macho pose. :)

An extremely talented artist, Patrick Little, commissioned a picture from me of his two favorite characters, Foxy and Jake. (Whom I was later to discover were much like my Kit & Kay. :) ) The pic I drew for him was in B&W, but he recently sent me a BEAUTIFULLY color version of it which I now pass on to you. Please take special note: Foxy and Jake are copyright (C) 1999 Patrick Little. Which is nice. :)

Just something to (hopefully) snap me out of this Olympic-class artists block I got. When all else fails, doodle your own personal fur. :)

I was enjoying the "Giant" story on Yerf! :) But one of the artists involved told me that they would have fun with it for three days and then a certain fur (who hardly posts anything) would suddenly have something pissy and sarcastic to say. I told her she couldn't possibly call it THAT close. She said "Wanna bet? >:)" I said "Yeah!" I *lost*. STUPID KAT... <:)

Pepe Val Pew had a request for me. He tells me he will actually get to meet his Kompy in real life soon. Man, you are one lucky skunk, Pepe. Hug her a few times for me. :) (I think I'm shaking this artists block... not my best pic, but at least it doesn't suck.)

This is a commissioned drawing to advertise a local dance, that was originally submitted in plain B&W. But I liked the vivacious bunny so much that I went Photo-Paint crazy and turned the ad into a color festival. I have to say, I'm proud of how this one turned out! :)

I was visiting some friends this weekend (still am, actually) and I spent a lot of time talking about
my wonderful Shirlee Mouse.. and then I was forcibly struck by a sudden thought: Out of all the pics I've
done of her so far, not one of them has been one of my full-tilt color works!! SHAME on me!! I took it
upon myself to rectify that grievious fault right away!! The beautiful mouse is (c) the equally beautiful
Shirley Chessler-Wakefield. :)

My Shirlee's back again! Joy! ^_^

This last weekend, Shirlee got an insect bite on her foot.
She referred to this as an "owie". I have *never*, in all
the time we've known each other, heard her use the phrase
"owie". It is (the way she says it) an extraordinarily
delightful and mirth-provoking phrase, and thus worthy of
commemoration. :) She said "carry me" and of course I did.
She's very light to carry. Especially with an "owie".

Someone I was online with mentioned that I haven't uploaded anything to the VCL in ages. Well, the online comic is where most of my time for drawing is spent but, as my magical mousie alluded to, there's the images she and send to each other. Here's a text-added example. :) (And the VCL *has* changed in my absence - I now get an allowance of 15 nipples. How generous! With the 2 I already have, that makes...)

We're staying with my fiancé Shirlee's mother for awhile as
she has some medical treatment done. (She'll be fine, the
meds make her woozy.)The feminine version of "Like father,
like son" is true as well, I think, because she's the nicest
lady her age I've ever met! She *adores* my online comic,
believe it or not! Indeed, that's what prompted this pic I
drew for her - the character in the middle is Mrs. Mayor of
Yiffburg, and Shirlee's mom wanted to know if I had her in
mind when I designed the character. I thought for a second,
and perhaps she might've been an influence... she does look
a lot like her! But then, I thought, she's more canine than
murine; however, I remembered it's also true that furry
family members are often made up of multiple species! So,
yes, she's officially Shirlee's mom now. So much for the
traditional 'mother-in-law' situation, eh? My prospective
one is wonderful. :)

Another little image I drew for my future mother-in-law, while
she undergoes treatment. And thanks to everyone who sent
well-wishes! It's not "dangerous" med stuff, it's "you're okay
and let's make sure you stay that way" med stuff. :) Believe
it or not, she doesn't merely approve... she's flattered by
my renditions of her! ("Why, she's an elected official of
a place where no one need be ashamed of their body! Why
should she be ashamed of hers?") My fiance's mom is a *class
act!* :)
