Cats: The Musical - Minus the CGI + Budget + Fur (Patreon)

What you expected:

What you got:

Is Best Tardy a Skimbleshanks? Or a Rum Tum Tugger? Who knows? We didn't reference the movie or the play when creating this. Sorry! Kyle and Chris requested a kitty. :3

Now that you've made peace with this, let's look at Best's painting! This is a MEGA POST which means it's much longer than usual, and contains lots of photos, including behind the scenes stuff. Like this:

It started with him rolling around on the floor like a cat!

He then got undressed!

We practiced trying lots of poses!

...and we filmed the process!

Including time lapse!

...Which sometimes was really adorable!

Other times it got REALLY silly including this dance off which ended in a butt spank.

I had so much fun taking pictures with Best! Honestly he's always a joy to work with and rarely complains (except eye makeup, but lots of people hate stuff being put in their eyes). He's been there for me for so many shows and really is the MVP in my life.

Plus he makes a great kitty!

Thank you for your help Chris and Kyle!  We really appreciate you sponsoring Best for this. 

Best is an amazing author as well! We released this book of poetry together called "Maybe A Poem Might Fracture Things".  

I took this photo earlier today because we received unfortunate news... the Gallery where our books/paintings are being carried is going out of business! That's right, Shaneland Arts where Best was working, is closing for good. 

If you are wanting to see more of Best Tardy, consider sponsoring him for a painting! That's right? We want to hear your ideas, and we'll use Best as a model! All proceeds will help him pay for his food, medical costs, and rent!
