The Cat in the Hat, one of the most famous novels written by Theador Suiss Geisel. He wasn't a qualified doctor but chose that name as a pseudonym under which to write. There was a physicist called Theo Geisel who may have inspired him.
Cat in the Hat: An amazing and mischievous cat who cheerfully shows up to bring exotic forms of chaos to one's home.
Cheshire Cat: A fantastic and mischievous cat who often (and literally) disappears with a grin amidst the exotic chaos of Wonderland.

"I do not like cats, I don't like them one bit.
I bark at them loudly and yet they just sit.
So why is it always the Cat in the Hat?
And why is it never the Mav in the Hat?"

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own; and you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.” Dr. Suess (1904 - 1991)
Theodor Seuss Geisel was better known by his pen name "Dr. Seuss". He authored more than 45 children's stories, worked for the government during WW2 making propoganda cartoons, wrote political satire and illustrated a few famous advertising campaigns. His birthday, March 2nd, is also recognized as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.
Most people think of Dr. Seuss of just a children's book writer, but in 1943, Theo joined the Army as a Captain (OF-2) and was commander of the Animation Dept of the First Motion Picture Unit of the United States Army Air Forces. He won an Academy Award for one of his movies, "Design for Death" in 1947.
One of the most interesting stories about Dr. Seuss that I came across was the origin of the "Cat in the Hat". Back in 1954, Life magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children, which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring. The director of the education division at Houghton Mifflin (publishing company), compiled a list of 348 words he felt were important for first-graders to recognize. They challenged Geisel to bring back a book children can't put down using 250 of those magic 348 words. Nine months later, Dr. Seuss used 236 of the words given to him to complete "The Cat in the Hat".
According to Wikipedia, Dr. Seuss books still rank among top selling children's books... In 2009, Green Eggs and Ham sold 540,366 copies, The Cat in the Hat sold 452,258 copies, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (1960) sold 409,068 copies—outselling the majority of newly published children's books.

Made this for our high school musical cast party - obviously they did Seussical the Musical! Used our new Fondx fondant to cover this giant 5 layer cake and it worked like a dream! Characters are drawn and painted on gumpaste.
Created for Jeremy's 7th Birthday, inspired by Dr. Seuss' "The Cat In The Hat".
Both the Cake & Cupcake decorations were created using gumpaste and were colored by hand to give it an "illustrated" look.
The cake is a marble cake with a fudge & chocolate chip filling. Cupcakes are marble with buttercream.

Jet is not happy.
His expression reminds me of how Doc Holliday looked at Johnny Ringo before the gunfight where he kills Ringo. That is one of my favorite lines in the movie, Tombstone.
I know it has nothing to do with Christmas, but if Jet had it his way, he wouldn't have anything to do with it either!!! So I guess it works.
yep. dr. seuss of course.
just a note...i was processing the other shots i posted to be as close to reality as i can manage. i was just working on different ways of doing things.
this shot, however, makes me very happy in all it's silly lensbaby ways.
This colorful and fun "gathering-room" was designed from scratch...I provided the space plan, the built-ins, the colors, the upholstery and overall design to compliment my clients Dr. Seuss art collection as well as her fondness for felines...Every decorative object and furnishing in this photograph is of the very best quality. Formal-Informal-Serious-Whimsical-Bold-Soft.. .call it whatever you like...it's just a beautiful place to lounge and enjoy a video, some music, a glass of wine and some friends.
