Did I just get back from a viewing at Bonhams auction house in NYC of cat-themed art? Why yes- yes I did. Did I take pictures, including of these Chinese ceramic cats from the Qing Dynasty? Also yes! Will I make a thread of some of them? Indeed I will, which will include...

I am so excited to show you this drawing from 6 years ago
A drawing of a creature with a body like a porcelain jar with legs, the body is covered in painted roses and there is a lid where the neck and head would be. The top drawing shows the lid closed, the second drawing shows the lid open with snakes sleeping inside

While we're all appreciating Roosevelt, here is a small comic.
A comic depicting a little red haired girl in a library holding a book and approaching a large object like a flower patterned vase the shape of a sleeping animal body with a lid where the head and neck would be. She opens the lid and casually pulls out a large sleepy purple snake. The snake says to her "Can I help you?" the girl says "the lady said you'd read to me" the snake says "of course! Did you pick a book out?" and the girl happily says "Yeah!"

This is Hat, a character I decided to recently redesign. She's approximately one person with two bodies (the fellow she's talking to in the second image is Parker, who is the same kind of magical creature as her)
A digital drawing of a large creature with six arms, two legs, and a long tail and neck. She looks like she is made of marbled wood and is wearing gold jewelry all down her neck, all of her hands and feet, and a few on her tail. She has a face like a floating mask. She is looking placidly at her hand where a praying mantis is squaring up with herThree drawings of a young girl. At the top she is giving the viewer the kubrick stare for no reason. At the bottom she is talking cheerfully to a monster who looks like a fish with a human face stitched to the end of its nose. On the right she is looking over her shoulder and up at a butterfly that has landed on her head. She looks delighted by it.The same creature shown in the other image with the same young girl from the other image. The girl is perched on the large creature's neck with one hand on the forehead of the mask. She looks stern or expressionless. The large creature is looking at the viewer while resting her head and neck on her hands.

I drew from age 5, but doubt and family pressure killed my passion, and I quit art for over 10 years. In 2022 I started again from the basics, the passion came back. I left my job in 2024 to do it full time. I'm freelance now. I might fail, but I'd rather try than wonder "What if I had tried?"

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I think this might be my favorite photo in my collection. It's the one I picture being on the cover of a book if I ever make one someday. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. ❤️ No date/info.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.
There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it.

Introducing Gurpo
A drawing of a small blobby figure inside of an enclosure with string coming off it, with text saying "introducing Gurpo, the new wearable personal assistant. Gurpo is not a computer program, he's a real tiny guy who is trapped inside your medallion necklace. 
Gurpo hates you, but is incapable of doing anything about it, and he has to answer your questions or he gets electrocuted. It's non-lethal.
If you shake his enclosure hard enough, gurpo will throw up!"

Aesop's The Cock and the Jewel. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 132 x 85 mm.
'A Cock, scratching the ground for something to eat, turned up a Jewel that had by chance been dropped there. “Ho!” said he, “a fine thing you are, no doubt, and, had your owner found you, great would his joy have been. But for me, give me a single grain of corn before all the jewels in the world.” '

Aesop’s Fables, translated by V.S. Vernon Jones (1912)

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
The yabane motif carries profound symbolic significance in Japanese culture, representing protection from evil and the ability to move forward without looking back - themes that resonated powerfully during Japan's period of rapid modernization and military expansion in the 1930s.
This silk/rayon blend hitoe summer kimono presents a striking example of textile design that masterfully balances traditional Japanese motifs with the geometric sensibilities of international Art Deco and modernist movements. The bold checkerboard composition alternates between sections of deep teal horizontal stripes and dramatic black grounds populated with yabane (arrow feather) motifs rendered in vibrant coral red, pristine white, golden yellow, and emerald green. This systematic alternation creates a dynamic visual rhythm that transforms the kimono into a sophisticated study in pattern and counter-pattern, reflecting the period's fascination with industrial design principles and geometric abstraction while maintaining distinctly Japanese cultural references.

The yabane motif carries profound symbolic significance in Japanese culture, representing protection from evil and the ability to move forward without looking back - themes that resonated powerfully during Japan's period of rapid modernization and military expansion in the 1930s. The arrow feathers are depicted with a contemporary stylization that emphasizes their linear, almost aerodynamic qualities, enhanced by accents of supplementary silver metallic threads that add luminosity and movement to the design. The technical achievement of this piece lies in its complex weaving structure, where the lightweight hitoe construction suitable for summer wear accommodates multiple colors and metallic elements while maintaining the crisp definition necessary for such precise geometric patterning. The silk/rayon blend reflects the era's embrace of new synthetic materials, allowing for more affordable production while achieving the lustrous surface quality that makes both the stripes and arrow motifs appear to shimmer and shift as light moves across the fabric.

“The Death I Bring” Pencils I made on a moleskine sketchbook page back in 2016.
A realistic pencil drawing of a robed woman, surrounded by three vultures and one barn owl grabbing a dead mouse with his beak. 

The robed woman stares at us intimately, with a few bits of branched and a dark background makes the scene a bit ominous but graceful body positioning makes the scene beautiful as well. The artist (me) really likes this kind of imagery.

Oh, this is a great opportunity to share some history!! The state of Hawai‘i has this flag because this was the flag of the sovereign Kingdom of Hawai‘i (1795-1893). This flag survived the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, and its subsequent annexation to the U.S.
The flag of Hawai‘i with a Union Jack in the left corner, and right alternating stripes of white, red and blue. Each stripe represents the eight major Hawaiian islands of Hawai’i, Maui, Kaho‘olawe, Lāna‘i, Moloka’i, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, and Ni‘ihau.
