I have a cat that fetches. No, it doesn't have anything to do with birds or donuts, but as I type this she is chirping and begging for me to throw her "baby." She is relentless. And she begins to misbehave if I don't throw it in a timely fashion. You've never seen anything like it.  SO, I will keep it brief. 

I was inspired by some Sailor Jerry flash for this drawing. It was a lot of fun to do. In my research I found that swallows are actually a nautical tattoo. The number of swallows a sailor wore denoted how many nautical miles he had traveled (1 swallow = 5,000 nautical miles). They are also a symbol of good luck, spreading one's wings, and freedom. I don't know what donuts symbolize . . . maybe I jiust need to go eat one. :)

Anyhow, I better get back to throwing the "baby." Have a great day!
