I thought I’d put the psychokitty on a greetings card. So all the very best for the holiday season. 🙂 ps the drawing is by husb, using a digital programme on his laptop, don’t know which – probably Adobe Photoshop. And I photoshopped in the background, snowflakes and text. Inspired by the mad-as-a-box-of-frogs Sparta.

Poor And Skinny
I was tidying up the other day and found an old life drawing that I’d forgotten about. I like it very much so I’ve started working it up into a mixed media drawing. People often tell me that my nudes remind them of Egon Schiele’s work. I’m very flattered by this because he’s one ofContinue reading “Poor And Skinny”
Mayhem In Waiting…
After the excitement of blogging about Iceland and wrestling my computer back from Sparta the psychokitteh, I’ve settled down into some domestic normality. Husb and our little great-niece put the Xmas tree up this evening and I sat and scribbled – and issued directions. I sketched some of the tree and baubles and noticed someoneContinue reading “Mayhem In Waiting…”
Felix Envy
Hello fur-less monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I’ve got my paws on the pooter box again. The feeble-minded apes that I choose to live with went away to an icy land last week – in the middle of winter! I mean, honestly! They paid to be cold when they could have stayed home with us andContinue reading “Felix Envy”
The Hidden People
This is definitely my last blog about my recent trip to Iceland, probably. Our most excellent guide, Olafur, told us about the hidden people, the Huldufólk, supernatural beings who live in rock formations and only rarely show themselves to humans. Many Icelanders believe in their existence. One day, we went off road in giant jeepsContinue reading “The Hidden People”
Hot And Steamy
Another dawn on the road, another glimpse of the morning star. On our last day we went to the Blue Lagoon, a mineral-rich outdoor pool filled with hot volcanic waters. We had to run from the nice warm building out into the freezing cold and then plunge into the lagoon. Lovely. The skies were spectacularContinue reading “Hot And Steamy”
The (Late) Morning Star
It was a bit weird getting used to the very short days up near the Arctic Circle and waking up, breakfasted and out into our tour bus for a comfortable 9am start meant that we were stumbling around in pitch darkness. But it gave us a chance to see the sunrise every morning over theContinue reading “The (Late) Morning Star”
Hot And Cold In Iceland
Iceland is full of geological wonders. In the freezing weather of late November, we welcomed a stop to explore geysirs and hot springs. The original Geysir, the origin of the name for all similar phenomenon, no longer blows, but a few yards away Strokkur blasts away every few minutes. The landscape is ethereally mistyContinue reading “Hot And Cold In Iceland”
East Meets West In The North
Iceland is a lump of lava up by the North Pole. The reason it’s there is because volcanoes keep erupting in the area because the North American tectonic plate and the Eurasian tectonic plate are pulling apart from each other. And this keeps setting off volcanoes. As the plates rip apart from each other, aContinue reading “East Meets West In The North”
Floyd On Ice
Travelling across Iceland with Olafur The Guide, Otto The Driver and a gaggle of, mostly, babyboomers, we went off-road in some giant jeeps up to the Gigjokull glacier. We’d had three days of deep snow, which was spectacular but unfortunately it meant that we weren’t able to see any Aurorae because of the heavy cloudContinue reading “Floyd On Ice”
