Liquid Cats

What happens on a page.

When it comes to inking a cat, there’s no telling what will happen. 

The long brushstroke of a tail; paint bleeds a fluid form, feathered fur.

Sometimes, the shape of a body can only be defined by where it isn’t.

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.

  1. Your intriguing title immediately caught my attention. When you wrote “inking cats,” the image of a feline tattoo parlor came to mind.

  2. I like that paradox of the shape defined by where it isn’t, that’s nice. Reminds me of sometimes being puzzled by my shadow too, and the fun existential rabbit hole in that. Nice piece Stacey!

      1. I think it’s the kind of hole that by definition one is meant to get lost in 😀
