Yet another cat image that was part of the Catalyst folio.

There's also a version with no background. In this one you can see a little better what the glass vase looks like... it's actually mostly filters and simple shading.

I really like this particular cat image and had a lot of fun digitally painting the flower petal by petal. Oh man, but the glass vase part of it gave me no end of trouble. Still, one of my favorite images in the folio. I recently posted another image using these little cat lilies, I really like the idea of them but I'm not sure I want to actually paint another close up image of one of them. LOL. Even though I totally have more ideas. =/

A-kon was really good this year... which I'm posting as if it's news because even I didn't realize that I made close to 3 times what I made last year until I got home and checked the numbers. Woot, estimated tax money and health care! The laminated signs and extra larger weird cat prints really seemed to help draw people into the booth to get clobbered by both me and Shawnna's adorable buttons and art. My most popular piece of art for people to stare at and point friends to, was this image of the "Cat Puking Kittens" from the new Catalyst folio.

Speaking of the Catalyst folio, YAY! Oh my god, it printed soo nicely. I got the book from the printer and ran around the house showing it to both of my cats... they seemed to like sleeping on it. The paper is all smooth and glossy and the printing is very rich and sharp. I'm so happy with them. It's 16 pages of weird kitties doing odd things in a convenient 5.5" x 8.5" inch size. Look I offer photos!

It has a wrap around cover!

And here's a link where you can order this folio: Catalyst! Also there more photos and links to some of the cat images inside the folio. Um, it's weird!

In other news my iMac's hard drive exploded... freak death, it just stopped working and now it won't boot. Thankfully I'm totally covered by Apple Care so, woot, free hard drive. The only bad part is they're not sure they can save my important data from the dying drive. I have to cross my fingers and hope that I can backup most of the new My Muse comics, some of my prints/art, and hopefully my tax info for last year when I take it back in. Thankfully, I do most of my art work on my laptop. Which reminds me I really need to back up some data on that computer. Sigh. Well, at least I'm not paying for the repair.
