Road Rage at Steve's Diner (2022)

This collage, created with assets from Maria Rivans' Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage, is a narrative vignette that depicts three cats engaged in a discussion. Due to the challenging nature of reading the expressions of felines, it is up to the reader to discern the mood of each cat. Has one of the cats made a dangerous manoeuvre? Are the cats complimenting the nice red car? Or perhaps all three are singing along to the same song on the radio. We may never know.

The Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World (2022)

Dunk (2022)

Pluck (2022)

That Damned Owl (2022)

Not all love stories have traditionally happy endings. The Owl and the Pussycat amicably divorced a few years into their marriage.

RatScalibur (2022)

Scurrying through the musty, bloated back streets of the gargantuan metropolis of advertisements, soup, and smoke, the humble Rat is spurred on by hope. He has a vision of a brighter world, a more equal world. As he reaches the mythical blade embedded in the pavement, he takes pause, reflecting on his journey. Time is short. The colossal ink moon weighs above, as his assailants attempt to scry his movements through the concrete maze from above. With this ancient power, our deft protagonist can perform feats long forgotten to the poor, wretched citizens. He can bring forth colour from the Earth itself. Wrenching the blade from its resting place, the Rat defiantly raises it to the sky, and the bloom follows.
