The Rebel

And finally we have Sterling Morrison. Named after the guitarist of the Velvet Underground, Sterling is the middle child of the three cats. Without the seniority of Kimmswick, or the youthful cuteness of Zardoz, Sterling is left being the forgotten one which leaves him only one choice. To REBEL. Sterling spends most of his nights out at the local all ages punk venue "Claws" and usually stumbles back around dawn, smelling of catnip. When not sleeping you can find Sterling bumming around at the park, frightening mice, practicing on his broken guitar, or listening to records. His favorite bands are Crass, The Ramones, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, and Beat Happening.

Kimmswick

This is the Godfather of the bunch. He's the oldest of the cats, the most favored, and kind of calls the shots around the house. I especially like his shimmery pink ascot.

A Very Zardoz Christmas

First off, Merry Christmas everyone! And with it being the season of gift giving I always try to think of things I can make for my friends instead of wracking my brain for something to buy them. Homemade gifts are usually appreciated more anyways (to some).

Our good friends Ben and Amber have three cats and like all cat owners are pretty crazy about them. So for their present I decided to do portraits of all of them, and put them in clothes that capture their personality (I could see how this might be overboard for some). Anyhow, this is their newest cat, Zardoz. He's the youngest and the most kitten like of the three so he gets to be a sailor. Kudos goes to Stephanie for the sailor outfit idea. Expect the next two in the coming days.

What's the best handmade gift that you've ever given to or gotten from someone? Tell me all about it. Happy holidays!

Holy Diver

Amber hangs out with a cold one while Zardoz amuses the rest of us. Check out her blog JUNGLEMUX to see an amazing tribute to Dio. Maybe we should start an internet petition to get her to start the blog up again. Just sayin'.

Welcome to the Jungle

Another one from Karaoke night.

Plus, don't forget about my promotional offer from yesterday!

Amber

Last week we had an awesome breakfast for dinner meal at Ben and Amber's followed by a drawing session. Here's Amber in her living room as she sketches Danny Devito as The Penguin.

Scuffz and I had an awesome time at OMSI yesterday visiting with prehistoric friends, learning about the causes of aging, and playing with their heat sensing camera. Did you know that aluminum may not reflect light, but it reflects heat just as well as a mirror does? In other news a paleontologist has extract intact T-Rex blood from a fossil. We're this close to a real Jurassic Park, I can feel it. Hopefully Newman won't get eaten this time.
