Hiya. Sparta Puss here. I’ve managed to get my paws on the Pooter Box again while the fur-less monkeys aren’t paying attention. I’ve been having such fun with one-eyed Ming The Merciless who shares the idiot apes with me. The simian slackers went for a day out yesterday and, well, to paraphrase a well-knownContinue reading “…The Cats Will Play”

Fat Knees
Was on my feet all day at Swansea Print Workshop, editioning some photopolymer plates and PVC block prints. I couldn’t wait to soak in a hot bubble bath when I got home and then settled down for a night with the TV and newspaper. Except the cat, Sparta, took over my legs and IContinue reading “Fat Knees”
More Kitteh!
Been very busy with work and family for the past week or so and had little time to get out and scribble, so I’ve taken the easy way out and scribbled Sparta Puss who obligingly dosses around the place looking picturesque. It’s hard to keep a fresh approach to a subject that you drawContinue reading “More Kitteh!”
Scribbling Sparta
Haven’t done a scribble of Sparta Puss for a while, mainly because she’s so consistently naughty that we spend most of our time with her chasing the mice / rats / birds she brings in to rescue them and get them out of the house! But this evening she was in a very sweet moodContinue reading “Scribbling Sparta”
The Museum Cat
I wandered into Swansea Museum yesterday and met a gorgeous, large ginger-and-white moggy. She’s a frequent visitor; she lives in the local pub on the corner and trots up to the museum most days and her name is Megan. She sat on the receptionist’s counter for a few minutes, just enough to let me doContinue reading “The Museum Cat”
My Chair??!!
Had a hectic couple of weeks and decided to spend a few hours slobbing in my favourite chair. But someone else had bagged it. So I had to stand and scribble instead as Sparta snoozed. In comfort. On MY chair!! We are their slaves…..
Etch-A-Cat
Sparta Puss here! I’ve taken control of the furless monkey’s pooter-box again. They’ve been out for a curry and an ice-cream and now they’re lying around like large sea-mammals out of water. Why any mammals would want to live in the sea is beyond me! Anyway, I’ve been busy hunting lately; a few dead onesContinue reading “Etch-A-Cat”
Magpies And Ming
After three months of torrential rain, we have a heatwave. Normally I’m not a sun lover but I’m not complaining about this because the early summer weather has been so brutal. Unfortunately, I’m a gingery Celt and burn to a frazzle in strong sunlight so I’m keeping out of the sun throughout the day andContinue reading “Magpies And Ming”
Sedum And Spartapuss
Today there was sunshine. Lots of sunshine. No rain. I was up and about really early and took a cup of tea into the garden to sit in the sunshine. Sparta the puss had the same idea [without the cup of tea, she prefers milk]. She was sitting sunbathing on a little brick wall behindContinue reading “Sedum And Spartapuss”
Pooped And Proofs
Just pulled a nine hour session at Swansea Print Workshop; exposed three new polymer [solar] plates and did 20 proofs from 7 plates and 3 blocks. On my feet all day and completely shattered now. And I forgot to take my camera so I can’t post the proofs I did. So here’s a drawingContinue reading “Pooped And Proofs”
