My first blog post in Pakistan just had to be a kitteh. This is Messi who is named after Lionel Messi, the Argentinian footballer who plays for Barcelona. Messi lives in the house where I’m staying.
There is also a printmaking studio with accommodation attached for the artists in residence. Yesterday was spent recovering from the travel; it was about 24 hours from door to door. Today I’ve been in the studio, discussing a work programme with some of the other artists and,obviously, hanging out with Messi Moggy.
This residency has been supported by Wales Arts International and Arts Council Wales.

Absolutely not surprised to find a cat drawing in your Pakistan travels.. love the colouring..
Thank you, Helen
Looks a bit fierce – a bit like my friend’s cat – hard on the outside but a real softy inside.
She’s like a little tiger, but very sweet
He looks like a very masculine cat, kind of rough and rugged.
She’s a real sweetie but her head is very lion like and strong.
Messi is a girl! I do beg her pardon. I think it’s apparent that I know very few cats.
Are you absolutely certain that the moggy is named after the footballer and not after an unfortunate incident involving vomit and a toaster? 😉
Hahahaha she’s much better behaved than my little brutes
Spata! Ming! The bald monkey is calling you names! Get on that pooter and tell her what you think of her and her dirt sticks!
The adventures of Rosie Scribbler continue….
It’s great!
