It’s my first time posting on Tumblr in FOREVER, but I painted this tonight, thinking of David Bowie and his passing a year ago, and I wanted to share it with folks who might also be missing him today.. If you were one of the weird kids in school--crazy clothes, technicolor hair, too much make up, loving every minute, but definitely getting called names every day in the halls--David Bowie was almost sacred. He just didn't care, or he acted like he didn't. He made weird glamorous. He took the guilt away from indulging in a little vanity to get that glitter eye shadow just so. I'd come home, put his albums on, do my homework, dream of life after high school, and know there were outlets to celebrate art and music and expression and maybe all of those things and everything else all at once.David Bowie gave everyone permission to try out new versions of themselves and if you live a long time, that's a pretty great thing to get comfortable with! Patron saint of beautiful weirdos. Shine on forever, Starman.
Look at this sweet sassy cat ball. JUST LOOK AT IT!!!

(The woman is trying to use a laptop.) IN A NUTSHELL:
BREAKING CAT NEWS is a comic about three cats, their owners, and that other cat who won’t stop hanging out in their backyard. It is also, according to all the cats in the comic, a totally serious news reporting organization working to uncover the real story for inquiring cats everywhere. Stories like “do spiders taste good?” and “what is that smell coming from the kitchen?” and “who is that cat in the backyard, and why won’t he LEAVE?”
This write up on ‘BREAKING CAT NEWS’ made me so happy when I read it. Thank you very kindly, Levi King!

Recently I was commissioned to paint "my interpretation of Wonder Woman." Wow, I thought, 1. Why haven't I done that yet? 2. What is my interpretation of Wonder Woman? I love history, especially ancient Greece and its legends. Immediately, I wanted Wonder Woman dressed as a classic Greek Warrior; armor, shield, shin braces, cape, helmet, the works. Since she is an Amazon princess, I decided to add some wild feathers, braids, and beads. To complete her overall "Legend of Greece" feel I gave her a lean, toned "Spartan" build.
Don't get me wrong, I love Wonder Woman's usual "girl at the beach in an 80s swimsuit" look too, but I didn't want to paint that. I wanted to paint an epic warrior princess of myth and legend. I wanted to paint someone would could run with Superman or Hercules, depending on the circumstances. And so here she is, my interpretation of Wonder Woman. Thank you to Kerry, who commissioned this, a thousand times! Painted with watercolors and ink on watercolor paper, by Georgia Dunn.
