Photo from a glass plate negative in my collection. No date/info.
Black-and-white photo of a light skinned young woman sitting up in a chair. She is looking down at a short haired, white and gray cat. She’s also holding out one finger as if playfully teasing the cat with it.

Photo from my collection, no date and the only info is that “Frances’ cat” is written on it. ☺️

Why did I stumble upon Frederick laying here looking like he’s summoning an Eldritch horror?
TL;DR: A long-haired cat sits before a glowing lamp like an ancient god consulting forbidden light, radiating judgment, patience, and eldritch authority. Details: A dramatic, low-light photograph of Frederick, a large long-haired Maine Coon cat with tufted ears and a thick mane, seated in near darkness. In front of him is a shallow bowl-shaped lamp emitting a warm, golden glow that illuminates his face from below, casting ominous shadows upward. His eyes are half-lidded and reflective, fixed forward with an expression that reads as ancient, unimpressed, and all-knowing. Wisps of fur catch the light along his cheeks and chest, enhancing the sense of depth and texture. The background is almost entirely black, giving the impression that Frederick is emerging from void or shadow rather than a room. The composition evokes an occult ritual or oracle scene, as if the cat is consulting a sacred flame or channeling cosmic knowledge. The overall mood is eldritch and reverent, with Frederick positioned as a timeless, powerful being calmly judging the universe—and whoever is behind the camera.

Luminous angel baby needs an ETA on lunch. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black-and-white photo of a short haired tabby kitten that looks like it is probably ginger laying next to some kind of bowl and a wooden floor. A sunbeam is hitting both the kitten and the bowl making them appear to glow.

Showin off them pantaloons. Photo from my collection, no written date/info.
Black and white photo of an older white man standing outside of a white clapboard house, holding up the cat so that it’s standing on its back legs on a sign on top of the trashcan. The cat is a long haired tabby with a very fluffy belly and fluffy little pantaloon-like legs.

Love this lady and her pocket kitten. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of an older white woman in a sleeveless gingham sun dress. The dress has a big pocket in front and a tiny ginger tabby kitten is popping out of it, his front paws resting on the woman’s hand.

I think about Swen Vincke's speech from the Game Awards 2024 often. How mind-numbingly simple his postulations are and how crazy it is that they still need to be said, and how it feels like a breath of fresh air when they are. The edit in 2034 with all the GOTYs with this audio is gonna go so hard

Brad Swaile is the best, please look at how he signed my Death Note lol (I did ask if he'd write this, BUT STILL)
A Death Note, turned to the page with Light's name on it. It's been signed by Brad Swaile (Light's VA), who wrote, "Hello Kennedy, all according to keikaku. Translator's note: Keikaku means plan"

Fairy puff! Postcard from my collection, mailed 1912.
Black and white photo of an adorable puffy white kitten standing proudly under a flowing bush like a sassy little fairy creature. One of its eyes appears significantly lighter than the other. This could be weird lighting, heterochromia, an injury or infection, who knows. Very pretty!

I think this piece is incredible. For some reason basically every piece of art of Link running out into the stormy night is always one of any artist's bests.

All listings today are boxed games. N64 and Super Famicom. Some of these games have never been available boxed on the site before. As usual, these will probably go pretty quick so grab the ones you want.

What I would love more than anything for the holidays is for our two most shy mama cats to find their forever homes.
Porsche, mom of the Auto Club kittens, since May this year.
Shoyu, who is the mama of last year’s wonderful little grass Miso & Dashi, has been in our rescue since October *2024.*
Porsche, a pretty brown tabby cat with splashy white markings from her face down to her feet. Shoyu, a cute, round shaped brown tabby cat with a white bib and little white mittens. She is sitting politely looking up at the camera.

“A Singular Sense of Style”

Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop!

Find it here:
theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/8274...
“A Singular Sense of Style” giclée art print What we have here is an extremely posh, well-attired Grackle-About-Town sauntering nonchalantly along top a stone wall, past a much surprised, amazed and bewildered black alley cat. The cat doesn’t have the foggiest notion what to make of this situation. The hand-lettered text below sums up the cat's predicament. This humorous drawing is rendered in dip pen & ink using a crosshatching technique.
