The Bohemian Cats calender

Well, we think that's what it will be called. The publisher argued for "Magic Cats" but half of these are not really about magic.

The pictures are all based on existing ones, but as the calender is huge, about small poster sized, everything had to be extensively redone.

One day I will write a thesis (or a short blog post) on digital imaging and the way in which it means that studio motifs get used and reworked again and again. With some of these pictures, this must be the fifth or sixth version, and I actually find it very interesting to see them evolve and change - and I hope get better.

So, here is the calender cover for starters.

The clock is a really nice touch this time around. As the pictures are going to be so large, we felt we could put in more detail.

And the new Brave Tabby, with a much improved costume - and his fur brushed.
