I read in Paper magazine that Lykke Li reprimanded the interviewer for referring to her songs as songs and she prefers to call them “space”. um, yeah. So from now on I won’t being calling my artwork, artwork, they will be called TweekTwaucks.

Here are some new TweekTwaucks I did for the Enormous Tiny Art Show.

I’ve been inspired by using a limited color pallette.
These might be for a group show I’m going to be in.
We’ll see.

I’m having fun with them.

Here’s my entry for the TAL design a T -Shirt contest.
I had a lot of fun with this one.
I like using the shirt color as one of the colors in the design.
That’s the challenging part and also the fun part.

Yesterday our dear lovely Mustapha had to be put to sleep.

I remember the first time I met Mustapha. I went to Fuzzy’s apartment so that he could help me with my taxes. We sat down at the dining room table and this cat was running around and wouldn’t get off the table.

When I saw the little white tip on his tail I was completely derailed. I couldn’t focus on taxes because this cat had a white tip on his tail.

I have one single pint glass left from the time he lived with me.
If you left any sort of glassware out it was his duty to knock it over.

He also broke my Hello Kitty alarm clock, a glass that held my Q tips and a little gargoyle.
He claw destroyed my my Queen Bee bag and my luggage.
But I still loved him.

His bright pink nose got pale when he was tired.
So if you laid down on the couch and ignored him he would come and sleep with you.

When I had really short hair he would sit on the back of the couch and lick my hair.

He liked to sit on the shower rail while you showered.
When I walked underneath him he would playfully swipe at my head.

He’s one of those cats that insist on waking you up no matter what.
I just remember one morning when I was so determined to sleep in that I cocooned myself in a sheet. He lay on top of the sheet, on my face, flat on his back, purring loudly, happy as a clam.

I spent some time with him a couple of weeks ago.

He sat on my lap while we watched TV. I was eating ice cream and accidentlly dripped some on him. So he got to have a little treat.

I’m going to miss you Mustapha.

One of my illustrations made it into 3×3 illustration annual.

That’s reminds me of the time that I found out that one of my illustrations made it into 3×3 illustration annual.

In between working and sketching we went to the beach.
And that’s about it. Well, a little bowling in there but that’s about it.

I bought this canister to sit on our counter and hold our dryed mango or possibly cashews.
