Description

Reginald and Marcus had every intention of winning the Pastelmania Cat Lover's Trophy for the sixth consecutive year; Mr. Tibbles esq. cone of solitude had primed him for the 1986 gold medal.



I had a lot of trouble with this adaptation. Personally, the photo it is derived from is - for me - the pinnacle of amatuer photography. In one glance, you can understand the story of two men and their quizzically coutured cat ring out across the ages with an unprecedented clarity. If ever the sum total of my life was to be wholly encapsulated by a single image, I would want this photographer to be the person who took it.

I still do not believe I have done this portrait justice. There is so much happening in it, it's story so very complete, that I was unable to pare it back to it's essentials. This was indeed a challenge, one that I feel has eluded me in it's complexity and I take my hat off to one of the most exquisitely camp photos I have ever seen.
