A Puppet. A Puppet Pet.

After two years in the making, Ben Jackel's first solo exhibition at LA Louver finally came and went (if you find yourself in Venice/Marina del Rey, definitely check it out). The pieces and the turnout were amazing. The best part of the evening, however, had nothing to do with Ben's beautiful creations...


What?! That eccentric old woman brought a little fuzzy kitty with her to the art opening!


How adorable! Can I pet it?


It's cute. but strange. eh?


It's not a pet--it's a puppet!

So random, so wonderful.

  1. You said I would love this post. But really, this post got my hopes up for a kitty on a leash and then disappointed me with a fake puppet kitty. Hmph!

  3. No litter box to worry about. I would not mind going for that idea...But again, puppet on a string..it won't kiss like Pantoufle.
