On Colour

Last weekend was D-Day at Casa Moonbug. Having bought the paint months ago, Gabriela and I finally had some time to re-paint our Computer Room (yes: that’s with capitals — although we have a pretty big house, we practically live there). The previous owner had left the place with a bland, butt-ugly light pastel green that we’d been mind-numbingly enduring for years. Although I had anticipated the new colours to be a nice change, the transformation absolutely baffled me beyond expectation.

As you may know, I hardly ever use colour in whatever it is that I’m drawing. I tend to enter a state of mild hyperventilation when it comes to colour (Freudians: feel free to drop me a note) — but this, this goes to show how much colour can define, alter, add to a person’s mood.

So without further ado, in true Debbie Travis style, I present to you the Before and After Pictures (click to enlarge):

How about that. Full reportage over at Gabriela’s!

On Passe Pas

Still life of worn out, taped up portfolio, sporting xeroxed-and-glued-on drawing from the insanely talented Moebius. I always loved the sign that reads: On Passe Pas.

A Cat Called Zappa

a cat called zappa

He’s mean, he’s adorable. He bites, he purrs. He leaves for a week, he comes back scarred all over. He’s forever in need of food. He lashes out at your toes early in the morning. He damages the kitchen furniture. He curls up on your chest while you’re watching TV.

Meet Zappa.

Told you there were going to be domestic animal pictures around here!

Typewriter

My dad’s old typewriter. As a teenager my sister would type out school papers on this thing — until we switched to an insanely cool Olivetti. Progress!
