People always ask me how I come up with my ideas, and I usually credit my cats. This piece is no exception.
We stayed home more during the winter of 2010. The fires burned to keep us warm, and the rains lulled us into the tranquil appreciation of not having to leave the house. It was a time to enjoy our lives together - Michael, the Cats, and me. While I concentrated on making new drawings, Michael handled the domestic and business ends of our life. And the Cats? I looked on them, doing nothing but sleeping on the couch, like bumps on a log.
As I said that to myself, I saw these funny little felines in my mind's eye, ten of them, one for each year of the new decade, the Chinese Year of the Tiger. And the log? Why not an asparagus spear, in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Asparagus Festival? For these guys, it's better than a log!
I looked back to the couch: There was Java looking like a regal tiger, Gracie (my little lady bug!), and Kukui curled up like a snail. Just "Bumps on a Log"...
