An Original Felix The Cat Doll

Pip — Sun, 19 May 2013 21:55:02 +0000

I recently was chosen by a cat to be his owner. He was in the neighborhood for months and it took a long time for him to trust me. Now he is my outdoor cat. My garage is his oceanside beach bungalow. I named him Felix, since I loved the cartoon Felix The Cat when I was a child. He is a pure delight, and for years I was allergic to cats! Now I seem to be able to pet him without sneezing. My friend in NH has an original Felix the Cat doll. Quite a classic critter, eh?

WIGGENS AT THE FOUR SEASONS AND MY TREE GUY

This man is from Jamaica. He has a little girl named Charity. Last week he came to my house to trim my palm trees, and I was asking him about his little girl. I gave him the WIGGENS LEARNS HIS MANNERS book, and signed it to his daughter.

For over a decade, I worked with TAKASHIMAYA, the most amazingly exquisite department store in Japan. At one point they asked me to draw a bird watching platypus. Here it is!

Getting Along

When I was in my twenties, I lived and worked in Boston. I was hired by a radio station to do a banner for their environmental concert series, held at the big downtown train station. Today I came across this sketch of the banner, and thought about my time in that city. This image was to represent all creatures getting along. I think we are all still hoping for more of that feeling, especially amongst human animals.

Owl In Flight

Pip — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 21:01:08 +0000

The owl can turn its head all the way around so they can see everything….thus, they are associated with wisdom. I just came back from a week of teaching at the Rancho La Puerta spa in Tecate, Mexico. The Ranch has amazing presenters, filled with wisdom, and I am honored to be one of them. The writer, Irene Borger, was teaching last week and she asked an interesting question, “What are you doing when you lose track of time?” She suggested making a list of who feeds your soul. It’s a worthwhile thing to do.

Spring!
