Lost Cat: An Illustrated Meditation on Love, Loss, and What It Means To Be Human “Dogs are not about something else. Dogs are about dogs,” Malcolm Gladwell indignated in the introduction to The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs.

Today during Illustration Club, I turned the meeting over to the attendees to determine the theme for ILLOZINE4. I can report that the themes "fantasy bowel movements" and "ugly Jim O'Brien portraits" were both unanimously ruled out, and that the final decision was to collect work from sketchbooks and see if a theme arose.

Next meeting will be in two weeks or so, actual date to be determined but I'm thinking maybe 2/19.
