Had a lovely day, first at Uplands Outdoor Market, bought loads of wonderful local produce and some hand-made Xmas presents – result! Then picked up the little nephew and went to ‘A Child’s Mystical Xmas’ in Cwmdonkin Park. It’s just around the corner from where Dylan Thomas grew up and he played in it throughoutContinue reading “In Dylan’s Park”

Opposable Thumbs?
Greetings, apes. Sparta Puss here, on the ‘pooter box. The bald monkeys that I live with keep banging on about these opposable thumbs of theirs, like it’s such a big deal, and waving them at me and Ming the Merciless and laughing. Well, here’s the thing. They need the opposable thumbs to open the catContinue reading “Opposable Thumbs?”
12 Down, 8 To Go
I’m working flat out to complete a suite of 20 new works for my upcoming group exhibition. I’m drawing in ink onto ‘transfer’ prints on art papers, Bockingford and BFK Rives, 250gsm. The transfer prints started out as digital photos I’ve taken over the years, printed onto ordinary inkjet paper, placed face down onto artContinue reading “12 Down, 8 To Go”
Chunky Cat In Motion
Greetings hairless apes. Sparta Puss here. It’s been a while. I’ve been busy, y’know, eating, sleeping, fleecing elderly humans of their winter heating allowance, sleeping, murdering rodents, sleeping, a bit more sleeping…….the usual. This evening I amused myself with a rubber band. The she-monkey was throwing it around for me. She says I’m getting chunky.Continue reading “Chunky Cat In Motion”
The Baleful Look
What a day! One of those when everything that can go wrong, did. I was hoping to get cracking on some design work first thing but ended up making a start at 3pm! Never mind, I managed to get quite a bit done in the end. It’s pretty boring stuff done on a *gasp* lightbox!Continue reading “The Baleful Look”
Technical Thingy
Nearly didn’t blog this evening because our box thingy that gives us the Internet has an intermittent fault and Husb has had to connect my tablet to his smartphone so’s I can blog. I haven’t got a clue. I realise that’s terribly sexist but I go through life on a ‘need to know’ basis andContinue reading “Technical Thingy”
Long Journey, Scabby Cat
Husb and I started travelling late last night,all the way to the West Coast of Ireland,via ferry and lots of hard driving. We’re in a tiny village near the Shannon river and this scruffy little feral cat has persuaded my relatives to feed him. He’s unapproachable but content to hang out in the garden inContinue reading “Long Journey, Scabby Cat”
Ming And The Mickey Finn
Greetings bald monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I’ve managed to wrest the pooter box from my trained apes. It’s been a while, but frankly, I couldn’t be bothered to do anything much in this hot weather except lie around in a shady nook and throw a few half-dead rats at my hairless she-ape. It amuses me.Continue reading “Ming And The Mickey Finn”
Two years and 700 Posts
It’s been two years since I started blogging and I’ve done 700 posts! That’s a lot of scribbling. I started blogging when I was sitting with my old cat, Bobbit as she was dying. Here is the very first blog I published two years and 700 posts ago. Thank you for sticking with me andContinue reading “Two years and 700 Posts”
Art Here!
I’m in a group exhibition in Bath next week (Commensalis) and we needed a banner so I painted one. Here it is. Does what it says on the tin. Then, I went with Husb and Maminlaw to Ikea, I love that place. Bought lots of frames and some smoked salmon. On the way back IContinue reading “Art Here!”
