A quick update to let you know...

My apologies to those missing my comments! I am way behind in all things blogging. Not only did I have fourteen guests staying this weekend last, I have ten to eleven staying this coming. But, that is not the frustrating part, I do enjoy entertaining! The frustration comes from having to completely return my computer back to factory condition-TWICE-because of a computer virus. Have you heard of that Windows Police Pro? Yep...knocked me out completely! Needless to say, I haven't done much surfing the last two weeks or so. Not much drawing either! This is all I have to share with you, and if you notice the dates you'll see they're a good week apart. I think I nearly have things back in order now. I think! If I've missed you, please know I'll be coming back very soon! I should be back to myself by Monday or so.


I've never been a "cat person", but recently I was adopted by a scrawny black cat. I couldn't help but feed him, he looked like he was starving. He wasn't used to people and it took me a week before he'd let me touch him. Now he's the bravest cat I've ever seen. He doesn't hide when strangers visit like my mother's cat. I've named him Edgar Allen Poe, Eddie for short. I'm sure there will be more on Eddie here in the future. Stay tuned!

  1. No worries...I'm afraid I disappear for periods of time too. I keep looking at everyone's work but I don't say much. Next time you get a computer...get a Mac hardly anyone writes viruses for them (fingers crossed). I've had a Mac since about 1990 and never encountered a virus.

  4. I am sorry to hear about your virus problem, yes it could be very troublesome, and glad that you're alright.
    Lovely sketch inside the car(I know you love doing that ^^) and you've adopted a cat!! That's so nice! I think Tanna would want to have a cat too as soon I am there. Maybe then I'll be doing some sketches of the same too.

  6. I love these! And your truck drawing looks great, even if you think it's unfinished.
    And of course, I'm partial to kitties as subjects! :-)

  7. The internet is a vast, empty vacuum of space without you..without you..without you..(hear the echo?) Anyway, your drawings of Eddie are wonderful! Your really captured all of the curves and movements. And I am kinda glad the guys came back because I like the way the first drawing came out too, with it's unfinished parts.

  8. Raena, I hope it goes well with your computer. However, back to the issue at hand. Very nice interior of your car and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Eddie on paper.

  9. Gosh, you have been busy - and still are, by the sound of it! Love the way that cat's tail goes onto the other page. (I suspect there is a 'proper' way to express that, but I am not sure how...)

  10. Life always gets in the way of art, doesn't it? Glad you survived your ordeal (both family and computer) and your kitty drawings are lovely. Nice how Eddie adopted you.

  11. I have a black cat too that adopted me. She was very scared too at first. Now she chases us down to get petted. Glad to know it was just virus and visitors holding you back and nothing more serious.
