A photo of the cover of Walkaway a novel by Cory Doctorow. The cover shows an illustration of a black house silhouette with its reflection in white forming an arrow on the orange cover. Inside the white arrow is a figure walking away. Above the figure in the black house, silhouette is an orange door or a window. The house appears to be on fire.

The bird and I are resting.

I added a little Mother’s chili carrot pickle oil to the herbed butter and stuck a spoonful in the bird. It sure smells good at least

Clearly I now feel like a professional and think I’ve earned the right to call it “the Bird”.

Years ago I made a couple of papier mache birds for my sis. They hung from the ceiling. Her cat stalked & then ate them down to the armature.

Yesterday I heard that the paper holiday garland I had given to some friends was eaten by their dog, leaving only the string.

Folks, animals LOVE my art!

#WackyWednesdayArt #yulecat #artyear #folklore in my Etsy shop by Friday jentingting.etsy.com
A Yule cat modeled after a vintage Halloween cat with its forked tongue out. The cat is on a brown dimensional box with blue glitter inside. There is a wreath hanging from the bottom of the box and on the box the text reads: Yule cat approves your butt looks great in those pants. The back of the Yule Cat box. Text: The Yule Cat! - An Icelandic Legend - In Icelandic folklore, the Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is a monstrous feline who towers over houses. According to tradition, those who fail to finish their work before Christmas will not be gifted new holiday clothes. Even worse than being out of fashion, the fearsome Yule Cat prowls the winter night, hunting for those in last year's outfit. The legend warns us all: the over-scheduled, the procrastinators, the perpetually distracted. Beware! The Yule Cat will devour the unprepared! So, finish your tasks, take care of yourself, and by all means, gift warm socks or cozy clothing to someone in need. It's the Icelandic way to keep everyone safe from the claws of the Yule Cat!

Talking to a potential client, I got all excited when I saw her mandolin. She’s a big bluegrass fan and I was like, “do you know WWOZ out of New Orleans? Hazel the Delta Rambler is on Sundays mornings!!1!!“

The best part?

She got excited too!

#BlueSkyMonday #photography #dog #artyear
A dog with his tongue out sitting in a white truck. The shadows make the dog look blue, and there is a blue sky, visible past the windscreen. The vehicle belongs to a painter evidently, as the truck door features, a hand painted image of a man with a paintbrush, a red shirt and a blue hat.
