“Life is being on the wire, everything else is just waiting.” ~ Karl Wallenda

Brewskie Butt, AKA The Brew, is always getting into something…He once got up on my shower that was one of those old metal jobs. (Luckily I have a tub-shower now.) The Great Brew Wallenda had no net to jump into, so, truth be told, he needed help getting down.

In honor of my cat Okey whose “Gotcha Day” is October 30, I am making an artwork every day in October, and posting it here on my blog. As I have done with “drawing a day” activities in the past, each artwork will be available for bidding in an auction in the blog post dedicated to it.

Along with each artwork will be a “Thought for the Day” that will offer some kind of encouragement about overcoming challenges.

Okey has inspired a worldwide movement to bring awareness to the links between animal abuse, child abuse and domestic violence called: Okey’s Promise: Art for a Cause. All of the proceeds for the auctions will go towards the Okey’s Promise: Celebrating the Human – Animal Bond project, which is my second Okey’s Promise public art project.

My recent Kickstarter fund raising campaign for the project fell short of its goal, so I have had to start over with the fund raising. You can contribute here if you would like to support the project outside of the auctions.

To make it a little more fun, I am going to have a special contest! Everyone who bids on one of the Okey’s October artworks here on the blog will be entered into a contest for a free artwork! You don’t have to win a bid, just make a bid. All bidders will be entered into a random drawing for a special artwork at the end of the month.

"Don't Cross My Path!" Drawing by BZTAT

“I wish I could be as carefree and wild, but I got cat class and I got cat style.” ~ Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats

OK, the song is about a black and orange cat, but this cat seems to be strutting, so I think the song fits.

“My Maine Coon is my main man.” ~ BZTAT

Spouses, significant others and family take second place when there is a Maine Coon in the house, or any cat for that matter. Take note men. The way to a woman’s heart is through her felines.
