Rockin' 2

So I mentioned (below) another pending flyer for WLUW involving a Chinese good-fortune cat. Well, I've gotten nowhere on that yet — I kind of need to take a good look at one somewhere before I can really draw one in a leather jacket with studio headphones. Hey, I bet I could have done that yesterday when Eric and I were at the Asian market. Oh well.

Eric and I went to this Chinese-Vietnamese market whose offerings also cover Indonesia, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, and I'm sure many others. We bought dry carrot noodles and soft fresh lo mein; two flavors of Japanese rice seasoning; cheap lemons and a large bag of yu choy; and sesame oil, dark thick soy sauce, and aged Chinese vinegar made from "sorghum, barley, and pea" (go ahead, let the 12-year-old child in you giggle at that). Then we came home and I made an improvised refrigerator salt-pickle, sort of like a quickie kim chi, with napa cabbage, onion, garlic, carrot, and radish, lots of salt and some vinegar, and various random seasonings. We'll see if it tastes good when it's ready, which will be I guess a few days to a week. (The problem with improvising is you have to improvise when things are done, too.)

But I digress. Here's the sketch of the good fortune cat that I drew when I was brainstorming ideas:
