Are you old enough to remember a comic strip from the 1980s called “Bloom County” by Berkeley Breathed? If so, you probably remember a character named Bill the Cat. He was absolutely wacko, and quite entertaining. He was friends with Opus the Penguin, one of the main characters featured in “Bloom County”. Bill’s favorite expression was “Ack!” – and one of his favorite pastimes was puking up hairballs. Talk about Cattitude! Bill was a kick, to be sure! Well, Steven certainly has captured Bill the Cat’s personality in his homage sculpture “Bill Katz”. But at least Bill ndoesn’t have so many hairballs now!

Steven’s “Bill Katz” is hand-built ceramic, finished with acrylic and oil paints, and Bill’s wild whiskers are stiff wire. Check out the closeup photos to see details of Steven’s crazy cat art. The price of this entertaining guy would be $168 at our Cloudcroft, NM gift shop/gallery Off the Beaten Path.
