Here Comes a Pinky Show Book

I just posted a “What’s New” about this but also wanted to mention here. Pinky and I recently finished work on a picture book on the subject of violence. It will be available pretty soon, but we don’t actually have a firm arrival date for the first shipment. All I know for certain so far:

• it will have a soft cover;
• the size will be about 8″ x 6″;
• it has many excellent pictures of cats-in-conflict inside;
• you’ll like it so much you’ll keep reading it over and over until the corner of each page is filthy*;
• my face is on the cover.

I don’t think we’re going to stop making videos but I have to say, making this book was a lot more fun than making videos.

If you’re not already signed up for our newsletter and would like to be kept up-to-date re: the upcoming PS book, please sign up for our newsletter.

Thank you,
Bunny

World Pinhole Photography Day

Hi everybody! Did you know that today is World Pinhole Photography Day? Oh okay you already knew that, sorry. Anyway, to celebrate the great history & fun of pinhole cameras this morning Bunny and I pulled our pinhole camera out of the closet and we’ll be going out in a few minutes to make some pinhole pictures. Maybe your pinhole camera would like some exercise too? Have fun today!

Take care,
pinky

Life Over Death

For a variety of reasons I don’t believe in the death penalty, the most obvious one being that it has been well-documented that many innocent people have been wrongly put to death.

Troy Davis is two weeks from execution in the state of Georgia, even though there is a considerable amount of evidence to suggest that Troy Davis may be innocent. 7 of the 9 prosecution’s witnesses at Mr. Davis’s trial have since recanted or contradicted their testimony. Several of the witnesses have said that they made their statements under intense police pressure and coercion. There needs to be a hearing on the question of the reliability of the evidence that was used to convict Mr. Davis - not an execution!

In order to stop his execution, people need to speak up. Please send a pre-written letter (or write your own, that’s great too) to Sonny Perdue, the Governor of Georgia, regarding this matter. It only takes a minute and really could save a man’s life (it’s happened before). [ click here ]

Short, powerful video: Interview with an Executioner (2003). Please watch and forward to friends!

Take care,
