Love your furry cat, Geoff!

GeoffC · 09-27-2010, 11:17 AM

thankyou milady .... (ps. I do too ....

)

MrPLD · 09-27-2010, 11:22 AM

It's the presence of the cats I think (yes, that's a cat on my shoulder in the avatar

)

GeoffC · 09-27-2010, 11:24 AM

it looks as though it's doing what a few of ours do, nuzzling ....

MrPLD · 09-27-2010, 11:26 AM

Yes, he quite enjoys me picking him up like that, over the shoulder frequently and then he 'directs' me much like that rat in that French cooking animated movie. Sometimes I do it wrong and he'll reward me with a good bite to the side of the neck at which point we engage in a "who's going to back off first" life-and-death struggle.

GeoffC · 09-27-2010, 11:27 AM

2 of ours join us for dog-walks ! one then expects to be carried - like yours - about half-way around !

MrPLD · 09-27-2010, 11:32 AM

I can imagine with your cats, due to their extra hair, they'd be quite heavy. I love it when cats come walking with you. We have a lovely path that we tread each day between two properties and we have to make sure we ensure that "Jinx" is aware of it and comes along as well - if you don't, he'll be sitting there when you return with one of those "You are in sooooo much trouble" looks that cats give so well.

Paul.

Just wanted to show off some of the 'real world' media I've made for Tree of Life. I have to admit, when I put these together on the screen I had no idea they were going to be so nice in real life.

The cover was actually originally done by a GA, Elita picked the image (the leaf).

We do have plans for a proper illustrated cover which will tie in with the other books that are planned for the realm that Elita has created.... however I have to keep all that under 'secret wraps' for now :sigh:

Paul.

GeoffC · 09-27-2010, 11:56 AM

You've made a good job of those - very professional !

Who's the image, I assume it's a young lady (though I admit I could be in error ... )

MrPLD · 09-27-2010, 11:59 AM

The person in the image is Deacon (male

).... much to the rolling of my eyes. There's a tortured history behind that person's drawing, it involves myself and Elita's mindless wanting of some unmentionable actor who I have absolutely no respect for

GeoffC · 09-27-2010, 12:15 PM

ah .... I think (......)

neilmarr · 09-27-2010, 07:22 PM

You and Elita have made a seriously pro job of ToL. Congratulations. My cat, by the way, only loves me when my wife, Skovia, isn't here. Have you ever considered the fact that so many, otherwise intelligent, sage, discerning and observant cats, keep pet writers? Mind a-blogglin'. Neil

MrPLD · 09-28-2010, 12:17 AM

I had to laugh - yes, cats and writers

Many thanks on the compliments regarding the ToL media. I seem to find a good groove when it comes to producing merchandise/accessories to a central product... assuming I have an interest in the product though.

Well it's past 2pm and still no K3 delivery yet... I'm starting to worry that another day will blow by without getting my grubby paws on my (sorry, Elita's) K3.

Paul.

MrPLD · 09-28-2010, 03:24 AM

5pm has clicked over... alas, no K3 delivery. It's very sad that I can get a parcel from Melbourne to here overnight (in fact, about an 18 hour delivery) but for some reason DHL takes about 3 days to do half the distance. I actually know why it is; it's because they ship from BNE -> Cairns (450km north of here) and then truck it back down to here, rather than shipping to Townsville (130km east).
