Eights’ birthday was a little while ago (February 28) but she’s still TEN! She’s been pretty healthy over the years—let’s keep our fingers, toes, and whiskers crossed for more good luck. This delightful typeface, Brasika Display, was designed by Nurron Shodiqin and published under his foundry, Nurrontype. My photo.
Using AI to make art, music or writing can be very fun, and feel creative—I have some AI art on this website—but indiscriminate AI use can be problematic for creatives in particular—and the world in general. I’ve stopped doing it entirely and I hope you do too. (See this Wikipedia article for an extensive exploration […]
The acronym from “All Cats Are Beautiful,” ACAB, is commonly used to stand for “All Cops Are Bastards.” I designed this sign as a fun way to amuse my friends and troll law enforcement at protests. I love these smiling kitties! I bought the illustration from stock content site Shutterstock, by artist Meranna. I saw this […]
This is the Valentine’s Day wreath on my front door. It’s a wicker circle with pink maribou feathers and a red metallic heart garland wound around it. Whatever you’re celebrating* today (or not), Eights the Cat and I hope you have fun! *Being in a relationship, being single, having great friends, loving your kid(s) and/or […]
Whoops! I got distracted by life yesterday and forgot to post this Boxing Day photo of Eights the Cat in her new box, previously containing presents. Yes, I know every day is Boxing Day for cats. Here are more photos of Eights in things.
Whether you celebrate specific holidays this season or not, I hope you’re able to spend it in the company of those who mean the most to you. Eights the Cat hopes you remembered to put squishy puréed meat treats in your cat(s)’s stocking (I did). Both of us hope for better news here and worldwide […]
Lucy was the only cat I’ve ever had that would tolerate wearing hats. She died many years ago but I still miss her like crazy. Isn’t she beautiful? Here are some other photos from that same photo session on December 4, 2007. Happy Holidays!
Wishing you a joyous holidays season, and let’s hope for good news in the coming year! BIG NEWS! I’ve told some of you this already, but I may be moving to Ireland in 2026, to escape the growing fascism here. My citizenship-by-descent will probably come through in June or July 2026. I may leave as […]
This is Lucy’s “Memory Box,” where I keep mementos of her life. It usually sits on a shelf in my closet but I take it out once a year on the anniversary of her death, September 28, and go through everything. I’m posting some of the items on this page. Today is the 17th anniversary. […]
Here are some signs I’ve made to protest against Tesla and the Trump regime. The “FINALLY” design was voted a “Best New Sticker” in the #TeslaTakedown Contest, with hundreds of entries and over 5,000 people voting. For the signs, I’ve been using Avenir Next Heavy for headlines and Avenir Next Condensed Medium for copyright information […]
