Been a bit fallow on the gigs front for me lately, but I thought I'd write about this charity calendar which features... a cat!
Not just any cat though; Daisy Buttons is the moggy in question and she is owned - sorry she owns, highly-regarded rock photographer Ash Newell. Ash has put together this calendar featuring his beloved feline in a variety of poses, with all proceeds going towards the Fur & Feather Animal Sanctuary. It's a project with extra special meaning to Ash (and to Daisy, naturally!) since Daisy Buttons was a rescued cat.
If you've not heard of Ash Newell before, he's a Texas-based photographer originally from Yorkshire, England. He has taken portraits of many big-name stars from the music world, including Whitesnake, Black Label Society, Steve Lukather of Toto, Taylor Swift, Nickelback, and legendary figures such as Duane Eddy and Kris Kristofferson. In 2008-9 Ash was Def Leppard's tour photographer, with the band issuing two coffee table books featuring his photos, and he enjoys a close working relationship with the Leppards still.
