Cool cat

OUC has a GLBTA student club, called the "Stray Cats." Since I don't have time to be involved, I consider myself a fan sitting on the sidelines just waiting for free time to pop up or for my schedule to magically rearrange itself as needed. I'm a MySpace friend, at least. Just a little while ago, I was reorganizing my Top Friends, and decided to move the Stray Cats up a bit. Their profile image is this:
I was looking at this, wondering, "Who made that sweet-ass cat?" So I dug deeper, and I found a "Stray Cats Logo by Karalea Lane" caption on the photo page. Let's just say I'm not surprised that it was created by the ever-talented Karalea. There's nothing cooler than a cat, unless it's a cat covered in messages of love and acceptance.

When Gracie develops the understanding and vocabulary for sexuality, I'm going to print this out and let her color it.

Honorable Mention

This is a project I completed for Woman's Studies 100 during Winter Quarter. Our guidelines were to create a "quilt" highlighting important women in any field we chose. I chose to focus on nine women who changed the face of music during their respective eras: Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Cindy Lauper, Madonna, Melissa Etheridge, and Alanis Morissette. Since I'm not a crafter, per say, I used a canvas, acrylic paints, and Xerox copies of Photoshopped images. I received an "Honorable Mention" for my efforts. The piece hung in OU-C's art gallery in Bennett Hall for the entire month of March.
