Final cat design printed on a kitchen tea towel available now! |
I’ve included the family photos because it’s is who I care most about and is a reminder of why I do what I do! Leia and my pets are my greatest inspiration and motivation moving forward with this art path I’m on. This thanksgiving I became sick with the flu for four days and was unable to do anything productive. Being miserable and depressed I was reminded once again of how to not take my health for granted. To be alive and productive is what I live for! Staying active and healthy is a great day any day. I don’t care what you are up to. Poor Doug suffered no long walks for days sorry Dougie but I’m back at it. I’m making stickers and calendars and mugs and candles and have a large painted portrait that I’m in the midst of and I can’t wait to reveal it (30x40”!)
Bring it on December “month that is the most depressing month ever I can deal with you and not feel fear or anxiety from you”🤺🥷🧘♀️

New and improved unique neighborhood! |
New and improved Dougie portrait 2023! |
Old fancy and overpriced apartment! |
First digital Dougie portrait 2021 |
I started depersonalizing and packing up my stuff in my old fancy and overpriced apartment a month before the big day. Saran Wrap is THE best tool for keeping your crap in order plus garbage bags. Expect a humongous physical and mental workout for 2-3 days strait. Still, this new and improved living space is the best and smartest decision I am making right now. Dougie is settling in and desensitizing himself to the traffic, people,scooters,bikers and dogs! He has been a reactive doggie for some time and I believe it will only take a couple of weeks for him to settle.
I wanted to document my first portrait of Dougie back in 2021- and the improvement I have made in a matter of 2 years! I’m slowing down I’m focusing more intently on my strokes and adding way more interesting details such as this tshirt and mouse addition to the funny dog wall art that is available as a print or a coffee mug!
This neighborhood is beautiful and I’m looking forward to better days in the future.
“Leave it Doug” is the title of the funny dog art. Doug.🤪

Cuuuuute floofy grey kitty cat with cooool heterochromia eyes (like my dog!) I am shifting my mindset a weee bit to really focus in on variations of my cute designs. I love this scruffy grey kitty cat design from last year I painted a knitted hat with big mouse ears- like Minnie not thinking just thought it was a cute idea-listed on Etsy and then it occurred to me that ANYTHING that looks remotely like Disney MUST GO AWAY so I removed that design to protect me and my shop from being shut down or even sued for infringement. The wee mouse on the hat is simply a funny addition and I love that this can be achieved without getting into trouble. Many artists add a silly mouse to their designs- nothing new but still my own unique style! So I modified this cutie pie and now he/she is a beatnik cool cat with multiple variations. I love them ALL. But the floofy grey cat with heterochromia eyes is my current fave. These would look so cute in a 1-nursery 2-kids room 3-just for fun because you are a cat lover and or a cool beatnik nerd. These are definitely going to be added as POD mugs, candles and totes. Obsessed with cats now because I lost my black cat this year and this is my focus right now. Cat mom forever🥺🐈⬛😻 |
