because sometimes we space things...

this is a photo of me & Mr. Gaiman with Roman Dirge, creator of LENORE, and Cory & Alex from ShadowMachine, the bad-ass-est animation house that did Robot Chicken etc. They are working on the LENORE film, which i cannot wait to see!

it's to remind me that i forgot(!?) to change the price of the LENORE print where she ends up burying a cartoon Neil. So for the rest of today, I'll leave it priced at $25.00 because we are nice and we love you Valentines. (tonight it really WILL go up to $38.00)

I'm leaving soon to take a batch to Roman for signing....and I am embossing them all with the Neverwear seal.

order it here.

Snowflakes, postage & Roman signs the prints.

still tying up loose ends on this last journey to meet with Neil. Boston was so pretty.

Minnesota hotel view after the film shoot.

Neil at the "Prince wall"--it's a Minneapolis thing.

Back at his house, we went through loads of his fan mail, some seriously beautiful things arrived for Neil. This came all the way from Iran:

I took Lola for snowy walks in the middle of the night, sometimes I would scare myself. It is so dark and quiet out there, and I have watched too many scary movies. The snow, though, it was so beautiful and NOT how I remembered our snow growing up. Big fat flakes here, you could seem them shining their six points from so far away, looked like the finest glitter.

When I looked at the photos back in the house, maybe I caught a ghost digitally?

look at what I found in his silverware drawer.

I went around the house photographing old comic book magnets that i have sent him over the years, there are some oldies.

this heartbreaker of a portrait flew with me from LA to live at Neil's big Addams Family manse, Cabal and his Neil. gift from artist MC MATZ, we will see more of this image. She was one of the finalists in our long-ago Cabal contest. Neil was touched to his heart by her gift.

I am sending Mlle. Matz his hand-written thank you tonight.

This is from Annie in SF, I want to do a print or SOMETHING of this. We both loved this letter.

Hans the resident Sherpa got started on his new tattoo, i love it so.

here's me trying to take a photo of the 3rd version of the #MakeGoodArt hats...err...

Get the hats here- the last two rounds sold out fast.

tomorrow I am meeting up with Roman Dirge for some nice non-Valentine time, he will sign the first hundred of the LENORE meets NEIL prints. I said this over on twitter, I laugh everytime I see the print. I love the fireflies and the fact that it looks a little like cartoon Neil has fangs. These signed ones will go out to the first hundred peoples-- IF YOU ORDER THEM IN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS, THEY ARE ONLY 25 MEASY AMERICAN DOLLARS. Tonight at midnight west coast time, they go up to $38.00 so if you want one, it makes sense to dive in.

GET LENORE HERE.

My trip & a new NEIL GAIMAN meets LENORE print!

On the plane with no wireless so I am tapping out my story and will post when I get back home to LA. Neil put loads of new (new to me) music on my coiny jumpdrive. I am literally bopping in my airplane seat.

It was a magnificent trip to Boston, met up with the Blackberry team, who I became great buddies with. A global pack, Sweden, Australia, Hungary & the good ol’ United Kingdom.. I have an accent addiction. I was indulging my accent-spotting & Neil won a bet with me, now I know the posh Aussie accent, a new one to me, haha. see more about the #KeepMoving project HERE.

After Boston, we hung out all week at Neil's haunted house, it snowed, it was the best. Did a little more filming and then he began to write.

I've read two of the stories and they are truly charming. Stay tuned to the Blackberry Calendar of Tale hub HERE to find out more, the second phase of the project will be all you artistic types, illustrating the stories--cannot wait!

I returned home to find that the new prints have arrived-- From the brilliantly twisted mind of Roman Dirge, creater of LENORE THE CUTE LITTLE DEAD GIRL, comes one possible scenario to illustrate when Lenore first meets Mr. Neil Gaiman... do sparks fly!

this full color limited edition print is up for the first three days at $25.00. They will go up to $38.00 on Wednesday Feb 13th--just in time for Valentine's Day. They are here and ready to ship now!

This run is capped at 750 and they will go quickly.

ORDER THEM HERE.

Measuring 11" x 17" on a semi-matte creamy 50% recycled paper stock, these are offered unsigned.

Roman and Neil are working together on a feature film of LENORE. This may be one possible outcome of the whole shebang...! **buzzzz (ok, not really)

Roman announcing the team-up at Comicon 2012:

a little postscript:

My ebay auctions got completely derailed from the busy week -so sorry all you lovely bidders, Will put some extras in those packages, which will ship out tomorrow.

Leaving for Australia on the 18th, so it will be very busy between now and then, tying up all the loose ends. (I will be in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth—can’t wait to hear the accents in person) Touring with A Perfect Circle this go-round, we are opening for METALLICA.

Kitty's cyber-garage sale in progress...

In addition to getting the version three-point-oh of the MAKE GOOD ART hats up on the Neverwear site, I have just spent the last few days photographing and prepping some of my tour memorabilia from over the years--

here's my note to the ebay world: It's been awhile, I used to do so much back & forth on Ebay, but I have been touring so much, out on the road for over a decade, and when i am home I work as the merch queen/assistant to the amazing Mr. Neil Gaiman.

Some of my tours include: TooL, Rob Zombie, Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Perfect Circle, Tori Amos, The Kills, Motley Crue, Deftones, Godsmack, and more. I have worked SO many local shows here in LA, I can't even go into it.

I have things from all these tours to share with the world. Little artifacts from a simpler time, haha. **ALSO Husband says, they have to go. Too little space here in the treehouse!

Will be rolling them out as time allows, I am touring Australia next month with A Perfect Circle & then I go to Japan with Slipknot. I have so many things to post, feel free to mark my page-- I am going under the assumption that it's ok to sell these old mementos, but if some or another boss comes out in protest, well, I will have to deal with that as the time comes. I had a giant yard sale, and it was funny, the attendees had no idea what I had. This is a cyber yard sale as none of the auctions will start at higher than 99 cents and none of them will have reserves. So! Let the bidding begin. CLICK HERE for KITTY'S CYBER GARAGE-SALE some samples:

I am also cleaning out my bead nation! I have bagged up loads of rare, vintage, gemstone, glass, Japanese hand-rolled, metals precious & not, findings etc, and am selling them in big batches like so:

watch here for updates! email me with questions! CLICK HERE for KITTY'S CYBER GARAGE-SALE ***Tonight, I am off to see Band of Skulls & Muse at Staples Center, then back at it.

MakeGoodArt hat version three!

oh, the truth in this three word statement....

"make good art."

this is one of the main messages pulled from Neil's powerful commencement address in May 2012 to the graduating class of the University of the Arts in Pennsylvania... words for the artist in us all.

I wanted to wear this little verse and so i thought, maybe a little black knit hat, with the words embroidered in a ghostly white-silvery thread. We went back and forth on the font, the lettering, how to present it. Neil, in his wisdom, said, put it to a vote. And so we did. The block font prevailed in the tumblr universe, almost two to one. We did a small run of block font and then a small run of cursive font. Those both sold out almost immediately. So I am doing another small run of them, in a Garamond font, on a supertoasty fleece cap like so:

Get yours before they are all gone. And at $18.95, they will go quick....

again!

PLEASE GO HERE TO ORDER HATS. here is Kyle Cassidy's self portrait in a graveyard wearing the CURSIVE version of the same hat, just so you can see it. The hats will be here in 4 days & for anyone that buys one in pre-sale, will get a lucky Neverwear pen f-r-e-e. Blackest of ink, wisest of clicky pens.

watch Neil's speech here, and be forever moved.

PS. I am still photographing and packing up all my ebay tour items, man, i have so much to sell-- stay tuned for this avalanche and also the new Neil mailbox, my goodness, you are loves, so so many Cabal wishes & donations sent to humane societies-- more on this as well...Please know that Neil is very grateful for your kindnesses. He is in Australia right now, but we will be making some beautiful thank-you cards.

sick day w/ Todd Klein's healing power & CHU!

It has been a busy new year so far-- we had a little sick day at the treehouse, me n' Drew.

Will have the photos of Neil's mail box contents up shortly, the time, it sure do be flying.

The big news? Neil's first new book of 2013 is out! Chu's Day, the story of the little panda with the brilliant sneeze. Look at Adam Rex's drawings, man. so good-- I even love the font they chose.

see more here.

here's Boss in the promo video.

The post dropped off this, my order from the illustrious & talented letterer Todd Klein, drawn by Gene Ha- a gorgeous print:

I bought two! (one for my sweet Mother-in-Law, Peggy, who is nicknamed Pegasus--shhhh, don't tell her) this print may have curative power, as I am feeling 75% better, as i type this. GET THEM HERE BEFORE THEY ARE GONE.

I kept busy & awake on our sick day by making more magnets from damaged comics & even had time to post a few more.

glitter love!

I so love the look of these vintage scary-books! VAULT OF HORROR vol. 1 #9, reprinted in October 1994. This is a double panel, but I forgot to put a coin in the photo for reference.

You can see them all HERE in the Kitty's Treasures section.

in other news, all the Neil #MakeGoodArt hats are sold. Goners! I feel bittersweet happy & sad about this. Thinking we may do a reprint, with a different font. The font (ok! i am self-admittedly, font crazy) was a great debate, cursive or block. So stay tuned for that little contest.

if you are a facebooker, i have finally made a Neverwear page. Am having contests to win things every week, so maybe drop us a like. I have my own reservations about FB, but I am giving it a try. All feedback welcome!
