“Kiki Vs Squirrel” - colored pencils on cardboard. Happy Caturday! Cats are killers, and Kiki was no exception. Poor squirrel was dehydrated after a string of 118-degree days, and too far from any trees. #caturday #calicocat #coloredpencils #drawing #illustration #petportrait #catsofbluesky #art

I made the collage “Santa’s Retirement” for the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse. It isn’t as funny now. Hoping the humor is enhanced by “Extermination Ditty”. Anyway, Happy Christmas Eve! It’s all fine! Peace and Love to all. 🥰💫 #collage #Santa #Christmas #natgeo #peaceandlove

Another shelter cat portrait! This is Sassy, a sweet tuxedo kitty, available for adoption at the Chico Cat Coalition. I love her white-tipped ears. She likes chin scratches and crunchy treats. 🥰 #sheltercat #catsofbluesky #petportrait #digitaldrawing #ChicoCatCoalition
