Having seen an Instagram post by Conrico, I knew that there was some new work in the BB Gallery a week or two back, so I immediately hot-footed it over there to take a look. I was doubly rewarded, not only to find the Conrico piece (coming soon) but also to find this superb character cat by Daz Cat.

The bright cat person is wonderfully illustrated with lots of colour and detail, I particularly like the peace sign made with her right hand. There is an optimism and joy about the piece which I hope is a signal for a great year to come for Daz Cat and for us all.

Happy New Year. I have a feeling that 2026 is going to be a better year, I hope I am right. I was walking to my favourite Italian delicatessen a couple of weeks back and bumped into Ryder, who had just completed a window painting to celebrate the birthday of Dom Majors Studio.

The retro cartoon style cat is eye-catching and although painted for the celebration party, is still proudly displayed in the window. I have a feeling that Ryder also sprayed some paint on the bench outside, and was a little concerned that people might be sitting on it before the paint was dry. A different kind of piece from Ryder, who I always enjoy chatting to.

Fresh start
