Concept: Proved

Pleasantly imperfect, the very first Napping Cat Press Card is born!

Leaps, Unbound

Napping Cat Press is actually a legal business name, filed at Erie County Hall on January 3, 2007. At the time, I'd been 4 months into a new job and deeply unhappy. I had big plans for NCP, though in hindsight they were dreams, not plans, and oh, what one must go through to understand the difference.

The eleven years since have been...challenging, but on the upward trend for four or five, and I'm grateful for that.

Time seems right to return to the NCP legend to see if I, now armed with a solid plan, can make that dusty dream a reality.

This is a photo of some humble beginnings, a basic R&D for a project rooted in woodcut but employing the screen printing that has been my day job for nearly 18 years now. Please keep checking back to see the progress.

Amazing Response

It's interesting, the things that pique the interests of folks. My call for input on the "Life is all about..." project has generated much response. But I need more.

The most interesting thing is that not one person has written anything negative. Even the goofy ones. My God! Are we optimists? (or are we dancers?)

Welcome & Thanks

So, there's a good chance you've stumbled over into the neighborhood by chance because I or someone who knows me & you sent you an e-mail entitled "Jeff's Little Project," in which I'm asking volunteers to e-mail me their fill-in for the following sentence:

"Life is all about _____________________."

I want to thank everyone who has responded so far -- people I haven't heard from in ages. I think it will be a pretty interesting project. Please keep checking back for updates on the project.

Since I haven't publicized this blog, I'm pretty sure it's new to everyone, so poke around. I haven't gotten into a rhythm yet, but there's some interesting things coming along soon.

If you have any questions, or wish to participate in the "Life is all about__________" project, please send your verbiage to thadeenz97@verizon.net.
