    Oh, wow. I missed that about Pudda not being with us any more. Peter said it well. New fuzzy friends are good too.

    wow, your sketches are fun and playful Selby. Simple but they seem to capture the entire expressiveness. Have you thought about the fact that they would make stencils too? What fun.

    I know your pain Selby. I recently lost a dog to a car.
    The sketches are a wonderful tribute to your long time friend.

    thanks Robert I wanted to do something to remember...kept thinking of rather finished stuff and being intimidated as its not my strength.. but these in the end show him for his best fluid and gracefull and lively and a thousand moods ,which doing just one piece would not have done justice to.

    sorry to hear you lost a good friend too recently..its hard being the one left behind .

    I really like how you sketch Pudda's life. Just love them. They all show memories there. And you're doing an excellent job in the Bumble's sky. I guess we can see some more coming.
