How to Train your Kitten- DRAGON! Take 2-

So earlier this week, I crawled out of my hermit cave and went to see How to Train your Dragon 2. I wrote a little blog (which you can view here) about the first movie and how my cat, Jasper and the main dragon, Toothless are completely the same.

Exhibit A

So anyways, the movie started out with more of the same adorableness as the first one. There are lots of scenes where important things are being said and Toothless is romping through the background being too hilariously cute and completely distracting. A good directing choice in my opinion. 

They introduce a few new characters who start off really strong, but in the end just fade out and have little purpose or resolve. Though seeing as this is a sequel, I can let it slide. 

The message about love, family, and being true to yourself was prominent throughout. However, then they did something that was sadder than Leo dying in Titanic. And Leo dying in Romeo and Juliet. And Leo dying in the Great Gatsby. And Leo dying in Blood Diamond. And Leo dying in-- well, you get the point. Leo dies in every movie.... There was totally room on that door!! I would never let go!! (it still hurts me)

But honestly, this scene in How to Train your Dragon 2 was not only ridiculously sad, but so dark and twisted!!! It was like, Lord Voldemort dark and twisted!! I mention this because I literally had tears streaming down my face. And quite a few of my "Manly" friends admitted to doing the same. Though I suppose I could question the manliness of these friends....

Anyways, I figured I'd warn you guys. I'm not saying it's not a kids movie. Well, Bambi was a kids movie and we all know what happened there. Honestly, every time I think about HTTYD2, I am reminded of that one scene and sob loudly. 

All in all, it was highly entertaining and had a good moral message. Definitely take your kids and just remember to hold them tightly during the sad parts. If you take an adult friend, it's ok to get mushy with them. 

If you're already a pet-person, the dragons will constantly make you smile and remind you of your own little furry children back home.

Speaking of pets! I made another Pop Cat. This time I created Winston the Cat, who is actually Jasper the Cat's best friend!

Winston and Jasper, judging the world.

Being 800,000,000 times adorable. Those faces urge to check out my shop!

 See, I wasn't making it up, these kittens love each other. Winston is my bestie, Rachael's cat. So we have play dates for the children-- I mean kittens!

Winston and Japser come in throw pillows, cards, prints, tote bags and so on! Visit my Shop and take a look! 

That's my randomness for today... Dragons, movies, kittens, Leo dying over and over.... *WHY!!* OH SWEET LEO!! *sobs in a corner*

Enjoy your lunch!

Jasper the Cat is Getting Married!!!

I haven't talked about Jasper the Cat in a while! He's doing great, in fact he is engaged to be married in a year.

Above - shh! He's sleeping! 

Yes, you heard right (not really, this whole thing is sheer sarcasm), Jasper is engaged to the Noble Lady Victoria Morley of Ross. (Real name of cat) Miss Victoria, is a rescue cat who was born on the streets. She became royalty simply by me noticing her at an adoption drive.

 Holding Victoria for the first time ever-- look it that FACE!!!!

I manipulated my bestie, Rachael into bringing her home-- even though Rachael said she couldn't get another cat. All I had to do was have Rachael hold her and she fell in love. *heeheehee, trickery!*

Miss Victoria is now in a forever home with Rachael, and I've taken responsibility as her Fairy God Mother. (Coz of course fairies...)

The wedding will take place when Victoria turns two. The young couple show their affection to each other by stalking one another and provoking each other whenever Jasper comes to visit.

Victoria's adopted brother, and Jasper's best friend, Winston the Cat, will be best man and witness to their wedding.

Above is Winston and Jasper- spooning. Jasper is the little spoon.

To mark this momentous occasion, Artist Miranda Ramsey donated her talents to making the wedding announcements, and offer favors for all the wedding guests of throw pillows, iphone cases, prints, framed portraits and so on!

So for the first time ever, I announce the engagement of Noble Lady Victoria Elizabeth Morley of Ross to her beloved, Sir Jasper Vincent Cullin Mullin Nobleman of the House Saint Clair. 

(All joking aside, Miranda is my friend from college who started a Voctorian Cat series and drew Jasper and Victoria when she saw how cute they were and heard my ridiculous story about them. She has more in her series-- please check her out, she's AMAZING!!!)

Of course, I couldn't have a wedding without some of my artwork being involved! A portrait of Victoria and Jasper are in the making in contemporary Pop-Art, Warhol inspired pieces.

Heeheehee - so, yeah... That happened. Hopefully I didn't hurt your brain too much. I basically just wanted to announce my new artwork and online shop and also Miranda Ramsey's art coz she's awesome AND featured Jasper and my friend's cat in her Victorian cat series!

Have a great rest of your day and enjoy your burrito!
