Something Old and Something New Department:
This has been an incredibly busy month for myself - I not only did not have time to work on the Calendar - I didn't even have time to think about working on the Calendar!! Hence, we arrived at the end of February and I not only had not done anything about it, I didn't even have anything planned... But I looked around today (the 1st) Sorted through some old pix and came up with a few possibilities - Eventually settled on this QT Ink pix which I'd originally inked back in 82 - Then a couple of years back, Sean had colored it with the idea of using it for a Tee Design, but we hadn't used it for that. Since then the file has just been sitting on a CD waiting for something to be done with it...
For whatever its worth, the Ink Bottle that Cutey is sitting on, is a "Pilot" Bottle, which is or was a popular brand in Japan. I used a couple of these bottles for years, as they have a nice wide base, making them unlikely to tip, and a wide mouth, making it easy to dip a brush - Though most of the time, the bottles were filled with Pelikan Ink...
