I sculpted the cats using Super Sculpey over aluminum foil and wire armatures, painted them with acrylics and sealed them with glossy varnish.
The Christopher Keller cat was made for my friend Mary, a big fan of the HBO show, OZ. Dream II was made for my friend Dana, a fan of the Sandman comics. Dream II replace Dream I, which was cruelly destroyed by Canada Post. The first Dream Kitty was happier, hanging out with his friend Matthew, the raven. Dream II is wearing his war helmet and is ready for battle. Finally, I made Frankenfurter and Eddie’s Teddy for my friend Laura.

The Cupcake Cat was made for my friend Corinne Cupcake. My partner, Stark, made the shrunken head. The Borg Cat, known alternately as Ernest Borg Nine and Borgulus, was made for my friend Tricia, as per her request for a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” cat.

The LTO Best Practices, January 2010View larger version.
All photos were shot in RAW with a Canon Digital Rebel XT and processed using Photoshop.


After going back through my image archives, I settled on a photo I had taken of my Kodak Brownie camera shortly after I had acquired it. I added my own text and used it to make an image map for my site’s splash page. I removed all the text and simplified the lines and colors in Photoshop, using the resized image as a template for the buttons on the site’s menus. I added a rollover effect on the buttons to create the impression of a shutter snapping.
