<p>I fuckin’ love cute stuff… makes me feel all bubbly and happy &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3</p>
<p>P.S. Yes that’s me back in 2009 &#8211; Yes I know the room behind me is HELLA messy. I was living in a total crap-hole with a total crap-head who never paid for SHIT and never lifted a finger.&nbsp; I hate that guy!</p>
<p>But anyway that’s another story. Back to cute and happy …</p>

<p>“My Kitty Got Smooshed” ©2007 Amy Kamala &nbsp; part of the <em>Sad Series</em></p>
<p>Not to perpetuate the tortured artist stereotype, but hey, I guess I am a bit of a tortured artist at times. Stereotypes do tend to come from some fragment of truth, don’t they?&nbsp; Here is a hybrid digital-drawing of mine from 2007, depicting my inner torment and trauma after the tragic loss of my kitty cat Nihm, who was hit and killed by a car. Don’t drink and drive, kids.</p>
<p>You can expect a lot of cat stuff from me. Yep, I’m one of <em>those</em>.</p>
