I really should be in bed right now.
or studying, either one would be good.

I did a brief page of simple cat practice sketches, one of which was of a rotund, blissfully smiling cat. Upon me showing them, someone called the blissing kitty a "buddha cat".
Well, my mom happens to own this big ceramic blue buddha, a plump smiling guy that my grandma bought in Japan many years ago. While taking my shoes off, I looked at the buddha like I had many times due to its particular place in the house, and it clicked.
"Oh my god, that cat DOES look like the buddha!"

Thus spawning this.
