My cat piece at the October Mock Cat show at 1078 Gallery sold! So i said goodbye and hopefully the new owner loves it forever. Mixed media; charcoal, ink and the goldiest gold by Stuart Semple on paper. I forget the name I gave it, but it had a punny Cataclysmic type of title. Thank you for a second year of the Mock Cat Show.
