Happy new years from me & the kitties

Welcoming the new & final member of my lil family, Nunu I hope you all have a great new year (:

Favourite song I learned this year is Life Force by @rjpasin This year has been a crucial point of forming stability & structure for myself. It’s been a time of ending personal cycles & focusing more on being present with the environment around me while being mindful of & limiting information input. Ive been heavily reminded that a huge part of life is suffering, it won’t all end, but what matters is doing our best as an individual to limit it as much as we can. Im deeply grateful to everyone who connects with my art & to those who’ve supported me by giving my creations new loving homes. Part of my core is to create & nurture, I love bringing ideas to life & I love to care for things. So being able to live from my artwork & to look after the animals in my home is truly a blessing & I wouldn’t be able to do this without you all. So thank you all immensely <3 I wish the ending of this year to be a comforting closure for you all, with excitement for what next year will bring. Much love from Jak&cats Side note my favourite games of the year- Expedition33 which just won game of the year & Elden Ring Nightreign, it took me a lil bit to get into but then I ended up loving it so much. I haven’t had much time to game this year, but those two I was deeply immersed in

Happiest of birthdays to Haku & Ruka! 🐾✨ These siblings are my first foster fails & the biggest blessings. They came to me in horrible condition nearing death many times. The first couple of weeks I was up every 2-4 hours, feeding, cleaning, reheating the hot water bottle & helping them go to the toilet as they can’t do it on their own so young. Thanks to my amazing vet at the time & both kitties putting up a good fight they survived & have been such an incredible part of my life since. Ruka is my muse, she’s always with me when I create & she will tuck herself into my arms & under the blankets to sleep with me most nights🩶 she is the most affectionate gentle lil kitty I’ve ever met. She’s very in tune when I’m upset too & will often comfort me. She also has the cutest lil feets that remind me of bunny feet, so her middle name is bunnyfeets. I don’t really have words to describe Haku, he’s something else & I’ve never met a cat quite like him. He loves going to the vets, he loves being in new places & meeting new people, he has no fear & will even run up to dogs to befriend them. He loves going in the car with me so I drive him around the paddock & to check the mail & he absolutely loves his sister Ruka. They still both clean & cuddle each other. They’re the sweetest lil smal fries & I love them with all my heart 🩶🖤🤍

I haven’t had much time to create music lately. But in November I have some new projects with an instrument I haven’t played before & I’m going to customize a ukulele (: I’m very excited (:

Happy birthday Miku!!! Miku is one of my best friends. She saved me as she appeared at a very horrible point in my life. I found her by some trash outside, she was so tiny but so fast she zoomed away into the backyard before I could get her. I panicked a huge amount as it started raining heavily & it was so cold. I couldn’t find her anywhere. Neighbors were contacted, I left food out everywhere & all throughout the night I was up checking outside to see or hear her. I was an absolute mess from worrying. Thankfully one of the neighbors found her, she was being cornered by their dog & then they bought her to another neighbor who the got her back to me ( thank you 🤍). Miku was a mess. I took her to the vet, she had a punctured lung, air stuck under her skin, she had an injury to her neck that effected her for a long time, she struggled to keep it up or hold it still. I set up a bed on the floor next to where she would sleep & eat. It took 2 weeks for her to start coming up to me & trusting me. Then not long after, haku & ruka were in my care at 2weeks old in horrible condition. After weeks of Miku watching me care for them too she also started to nurture & clean them. She helped all of us. I love you Miku 🤎🐾

Original framed painting “Geo Insect” I had thought this piece was long lost, so I’m very grateful to have found it & to be able to complete it with its frame (: This piece has been one of my best print sellers & its one of my most loved pieces I’ve created :) I hope you all have a lovely day 🌱
