This is amazing. It goes so well with the poem! I LOVE the cat!!!

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks! I hope it does the poem justice. It was a bit difficult to make the cat work, as the red/green pattern kind of distorts his shape. Glad you liked it!"

Sorry, but I have to be one more person to vote AWESOME cat. Why so jowly on Merlin? It is just like the poem that goes with, and puts me in mind of a Terry Pratchett wizard’s haunt! Love the stuffed alligator, hope i don’t ever meet him!

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Tha cat is happy to have so many fans! 2"

I see that he has the obligatory stuffed alligator (have you ever read Terry Pratchett?)

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "No stuffed aligator -no proper magician!
I love Terry Pratchett!"

Nice to see non digital work of such high quality. The market is saturated with digital work so this is so refreshing.
