This is Sophia. She supported Bill Callahan on his recent European tour and I had the pleasure of taking her portrait. She sings solo as Sophia Knapp but is also in the band Lights. Sophia is also an incredibly talented illustrator. Check out her work here: http://www.sophiaknapp.com

Taken as we drank beer in the park before the Bill Callahan show on a beautiful sunny day in August.

I picked her up from a dodgy pet shop when I was 15. She was covered in fleas and mites so I took her home and my mum helped me clean her up. My sister called her Cassie but I've always called her Little One because she was so much smaller than my other cat. She was called Chicken Roll for a while for reasons I'll leave for another time. I knew when I saw her 2 weeks ago that it would be the last time. She died yesterday, aged 18. She was a dude and I hope she rests in peace.

fuck you, spider
