A New Chat Noir
Unintended results can be impressive as with le chat noir Paris, Deborah Julian's popular cat art poster. Le chat noir Paris was created as an illustration for a book I wrote about two American cats who smuggle their way to Paris by hiding in luggage.
Once in Paris, they get to tag along as their people enjoy a weeklong tour of the sights of the amazing, historical city. The high point for the cats of Travels With George: Paris
happened when they were strolling along the Left Bank after dinner one evening and created this scene.
The cats in le chat noir Paris paused then, being cats, moved on, driven by curiosity, to more adventures.

After Lunch With Pierre Bonnard Cat Prints
The newest cat prints to land in Deborah Julian's Famous Artists' Cats are After Lunch With Pierre Bonnard. The series of cat art creations is inspired by her imaging what might have happened if the famous artists she studied while getting her degree in art history had had her own curious cats.
Some of the famous artists, like Matisse and Picasso, loved their cats and included them in their artwork. Others, Van Gogh and Cézanne, for example, had no known history with cats in the studio, and Hopper probably didn't like cats any more than he liked people.
No problem. Great art inspires, regardless of the artists' personal life. Deborah Julian is equally inspired by cats. In After Lunch With Pierre Bonnard, she marries her passions and makes something wonderful, colorful and artistic from the results.

The End of the World Is Not Nigh!
Times have always been bad. Before this enlightened age a person could be "bludgeoned" to pieces at random by a man wielding a massively heavy and crude sword. Murder was seldom punished. The law was mainly aimed at theft, settling property disputes, heresy against the church or a challenge to the crown.
Even before Christ people were claiming that the end of the world was nigh. The fiasco about the Mayan calendar shows how such "precognition" can be totally wrong. Once again the recent "clash" of a meteor and asteroid with Earth has drawn the doomsayers out of the woodwork.
Wonders in the heavens have occurred since man came down from the trees. It is not something that stops, then starts again. The lightning strike at St. Peter's Basilica after the Pope announced he would step down was just coincidence. Lightning strikes happen regularly and despite the myth it does strike twice in the same place.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn says he was inundated with communications asking if the world was coming to an end. Cahn himself is a supporter of the end of the world scenario declaring people are renouncing religion, and there is more sin and immorality.
Sex is not in itself sin. It is a normal human and animal function to beget offspring and continue the species. It is words from angry people that make is appear dirty and sinful. The Catholic Church in particular is responsible for this. Celibacy is unnatural, No other animal does it. It should be noted that homosexuality is practised by other animals: apes and dolphins are examples. Personally, I am not in favor of same sex marriage, but if the majority want it then I will accept it.
People tend to see only what they want to see. It is a fact that a Holy War is going on in the world at the moment. There are no stories in the press about this directly. The war in Alfghanistan and terrorism are mentioned. No one, even organized religion will tackle this issue. It is assumed that maybe it will go away. However, this war will go on for decades. The only real solution is for one religion to win. That, of course, will not happen. Perhaps a new prophet will arise who will dramatically change entrenched views and values. Hope does reign eternal - not much else does!
