Some of you may recognize this otter sketch t-shirt. I’ve had many requests for my sketches from my 2014 daily sketchbook to be made available in various forms. These encompass things such as calendars, coffee mugs, t-shirts, small prints, mouse pads (I didn’t know anyone still used those!), etc. I even had one person request […]

Our pets become part of the family. “Keo-boy”, my siamese, was just a month shy of 20 yrs old. It was very difficult when I had to put him down. It was so hard that I even had him cremated. Myra surprised me with a picture of him, which sits in my bedroom til this day. “Babe” followed “Keo” & if you know a bit about Maine Coons you know they have long beautiful hair with striking patterns. She surprised me one Xmas with a portrait of the big boy. I can’t believe it is done with only pencil. She captured every detail perfectly. I have known Myra all her life, as I am her auntie. She has always had a knack for drawing. At 4, she even placed her artwork on my white leather chair! I have seen her develop into a fantastic artist. I will treasure my works of art forever.
