Cat Carriers

Posted on May 27, 2025 by ohthatsean

My brother and I moved up to Illinois in March 2015, away from everything we knew in Mississippi.

We were in a moving van cab with two cat carriers between us. The carriers were pointed with the door facing straight up and inside were two cats, who could each smell the other but could only see the ceiling. They were sedated so they could theoretically sleep through the trip, but in actuality the newly boneless babbies just took turns, one meowing while the other slept for a few hours at a time and then they’d switch.

We got to the Mississippi state line rest stop and let them stretch their legs. They didn’t get sedated afterwards and they made the trip much better.

The trip took a full 24 hours of driving counting a short sleep break in the middle, and the two girls were happy to be in our new home very soon.

Cryptic Tinseltown

So there’s this guy Seb, and he’s been going after cryptids for forever. He teams up with a woman, Amelia, who can see things normal people can’t. She doesn’t quite understand how this power works. There’s another one in the trio, a Rat named Gavin. He’s Seb’s assistant, his rattaché if you will.

Seb is dealing with a world full of monsters and illusions, so it makes sense that their home base would be in Hollywood, the land of monsters and illusions!

And how about some pencils?

Series covers

I had so much fun drawing this. Slowly going through the Balls archive adding the correct time stamps and tags ect (the original site broke and couldn’t restore it so I’m wayback machining it from beyond the grave) I was thinking about Panka and the rest lately.

Close that Door

Comic’s up! I had a hell of a time with those last two panels with the gate. Lots of things happen when you have to copy multiple layers. And then move them into place in the lower panel. AND THEN collate them into each other. Let’s just say that some errors were made.

All in all, I think I did pretty well patching out the gate (tho if I did it again, I’d color the lower panel first and use the gate to hide crimes in the upper panel)!

Panny Shots

Working on redoing this page on Lex and Dandre (my tablet ate the full art of the original and I used the excuse to color it). I have fun with panning shots. It’s one way to use copy and paste while keeping things interesting.
