From the Closet: Jumping Cat Notes

This must have been... sophomore or junior year of high school? I think that's when I took Astronomy. I am amused that instead of doodling something obvious, I decided to draw a cat jumping down fr...

Caturday and All is Well

I had a hard time getting this picture because every time I aimed the camera at him, he decided that meant it was time to get up and press his head against my legs. Not sure if affection or messing...

From the Closet: Unicorn Poster

I... don't even know how to scan this one. As you can tell from my toes there, it is Not Small! I'd say this one was around 6th grade, maybe? I vaguely remember creating a herd of unicorns and nami...

The Very First Glaseah Image Ever

We return to the 'From the Closet Project' with this piece from 1990, the very first Glaseah I ever drew. It was in response to a commissioner who wanted me to draw "something weird", to which I sa...

Poem: Ocean's Daughter

I don't often show my poetry! Mostly because I either think it's not very good, or I think it's much too much personal. But while sorting through my archives I found this one, which I had been shop...

From the Depths of the Closet: Amakitia and Crew

My new project, from now until the end of the year (or possibly beyond) is to go through all the loose papers in my closet and scan them, and then recycle or put them in deep storage. Some of these...

Caturday, with Beanbag Cat

I feel the teal beanbag harmonizes well with his orange and white coloration. Very striking. A+, Ron Weasley Cat, would trust with fashion decisions again.

Three Jaguars Comic: Warning Labels

I feel this is 8 pages of self indulgence because it's not really business advice, as much as an excuse to draw the three jaguars making funny faces at one another. But in case you are amused by fu...

The Promised Explanation About Audiobooks

August Progress

Somehow, readers, it is September of 2019 and I’m not sure where three-fourths of the year went. August in particular was crazy—thank you, school year—and the changes to my routine haven’t ...

Alysha Forrest Series Read-Along!

A couple of weeks ago, one of our Discord members started reading the Jokka books and copying quotes out of it into the spoilers channel, and this was so much fun for the people who'd already read ...

Caturday with Birthday

In addition to school starting, this week is Daughter Birthday Week so it's astonishing I got anything done at all! It's probably not surprising that midway through the week I crashed on the round ...

Ask Me Your Worldbuilding Questions!

I'm looking for material to write posts about, but it's kind of hard to get things out of my head when I don't know what people find interesting... so you tell me! This is a request for meta 'how d...

Caturday with Sunlit Flop

I just did the news wrap-up yesterday! So doing it again today feels redundant. Instead, I offer you this sunlit flop, and a recipe provided by one of the Discord server's mods, because we made the...

July News and Progress

Somehow it is August, and the school year is starting again and I have no idea where the summer went. This happens every year and every year I am sad to see it go. Summer for us is a far saner pace...

Saturday, with Flower Coffee

Not a cat picture, but pretty anyway, I hope. My favorite coffee shop is this quirky place run by a Sicilian who insists on giving me free food. We have this long-running slapstick routine where I ...

Caturday Sleeps

I was amused by this one mostly because of all the matching colors: cat and floor, mouse and rug.

Anyway, it is Saturday! And this is a busy month, and a fun one, I think!

Kherishdar's Rebranding, and KH4 Pre-Order
