Nurse!

I've served as a laborant in the 121 M.A.S.H. in the early 90's. That's why I made this army style Lucky Cat with the number on it.

TR 909

The best drum machine ever made. Combines analog drums with hats, crash and ride sampled at a rate of 90 kHz. 

A little girl at my school asked for a cat. She liked the military style 808 cat I made and loves pink. The only number I could think on is the 909-er. Instead of TR, I used the first letters of her name and also her name in written in Katakana, so this cat is pretty much personalized. 

 And she wanted a lantern...

M*A*S*H*

I served my country as a laborant in a field hospital, at the entrance of the surgery. The Dutch variant of this hospital is called an LCVH, but internationally it's better known as a MASH (Mobile Army Surgery Hospital). My company operated internationally under the name 121 MASH (121 LCVH-cie). Somehow I got the idea of reflecting my service time (which was actually a very good time) in some of my cat paintings.

I think this cat is th master of the band aid room. I wanted to do a dessert pink background, but when I finished it looked more like the Hansaplast sticky plasters you use to put on small wounds. Hansaplast is in most countries known as Elastoplast. 

I think this is a funny coincidence. 

Introducing a kind of self invented Army Stencil font.
