Warren is so very dear to me as many of you know. He has many health issues and is blind but he manages to stay happy and so loving. I admire his resilience so much. Last week I noticed a problem with his back legs so I took him to Ocean State Veterinary Hospital, they diagnosed him with a spinal problem so we will be seeing a neurologist soon. I hope that it is nothing too serious and I will do whatever it takes to make his life the best I can.
Piper's spinal surgery at UC Davis last Wednesday was a success! He is home now recovering, a process that will require four weeks of cage rest. He seems to feel great and cannot understand the restrictions, of course. We take him out for lap time as much as we can.
On a windy day I thought I'd explore trees as time-machines. What drifts and what doesn't?

My tribute to Spinal Tap. I love this piece because it's big (8"x10"), black and HI-LAR-IOUS.

For the Group Life is a Rainbow. The colour is Dark Green. (no3 of the Dark Green sequence)
And Happy Cliche Saturday too! ;o)
I just couldn't pass up the chance to celebrate! When I thought of "dark green" as a colour for the Rainbow group I immediately thought of the signature colour of Virago Books! As iconic as the orange or black Penguin books, the dark green colour of Virago stood out proudly in the book stores from the early 1970s. It was the first time that I (along with so many other women) could hear the voices of other women, recognise our shared experiences, and talk about so many subjects that had been forbidden. It was the first time that women had claimed back even the word "Virago" from the realm of the insult and the 'put-down'.
I've added a smattering of other books on my bookshelf too ... and just a taste of Virago books on my shelves of so many books written by women and for women. It is easy to forget today, just how hard it was to get published as a woman. Mary Anne Evans? No? Try George Eliot! So many women had to disguise their sex to be taken seriously and to be published. Even Joanna Rowling "revealed that she was advised to use her initials on her first book so as not to alienate male readers". It is still a live issue ;o)
I added a candle to the still life, to suggest how the books have lit up my world, and made the shot as clear as I could, so you can 'tap' into and read the spines. Some of my favourites are missing, as their spines are so broken that the titles are almost unreadable! And the old newspaper that the book shelf is resting on - is a series of articles on Sylvia Plath - I had to include her too o))

Life is a Rainbow Here
Saturday Cliche and Smiles: Here
The interior of the Marriott hotel in central Atlanta. The Giger-esque design is certainly amazing but I wouldn't recommend getting a room here if you suffer from vertigo.
Is what you might get if you drive this car, mainly because the engine is virtually attached to your spine.

This is a commission for a TATTOO, (and a painting). In the beginning I was hesitant. However, it has turned out to be a VERY interesting piece! It's painted to form along the spine of the collectors back. ( a 'back piece") I'm anxious to see what this will look like when it is actually on his body! (I will upload a picture of that when I have it)
I have never considered doing Tattoo design before. However, I had such an excellent time designing this one, I would gladly take on another assignment. The nice thing is the person who commissions something like this gets a TATTOO and a PAINTING! This looks wonderful as a painting on my wall.
Although this tattoo is done for my collectors use only as a tattoo, I will be selling mounted giclee prints with hand painted boarders which look exactly like the original painting. If you would like to discuss doing a tattoo/painting contact me at VOMITUS.com.
Be sure to click on 'all sizes' above to see the detailed image.

Artist unknown- if there was attribution I missed it. I just liked the simplicity and graphic nature of the sculpture. I believe this was at the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington, DC. We were there to see the exhibits of Yayoi Kusama.
