Little Wood-mounted Photos and Sketches

It’s when I see Mimi like this, relaxed, quietly happy by a sunny window, breeze ruffling her ears, her delicate features so lovely with the lace curtain, that I deeply sense she and I are both having a moment of appreciation for her life here, indoors, spayed, well-fed; often after one of these moments she […]

March Featured Artwork and Desktop Calendar: Black and Light

I’ve been planning to use this art as a monthly calendar since I created it last August. But when I associate most of the months with colors, when would be the best time? Late winter/early spring, I decided, after we’d moved past the lovely January light and winter sun to March, the month of contrasts, […]

Colorful Kitties Notecard and Print

This note card was designed from one of my daily sketches and just lends itself to a variety of themes—friendship, thank you, thinking of you, even an invitation to an event. This card is 5.5″ x 4.25″ and printed on 100# acid-free uncoated cover stock, blank inside. They come with 70 lb. opaque acid-free envelopes […]

"Winter Afternoon" Prints and Gift Items

Look closely and you’ll see four cats in this sketch. Smokie, Bella, Bean and Mewsette spent the entire long, quiet afternoon on the wool afghan. The light caught each of their coats in different tones and textures: Smokie at the top left is very mocha, and in the top right Bella is only shades of […]

January Featured Artwork and Desktop Calendar: "Rolling Around"

There is still time to enjoy this desktop calendar in the month of January, and even after that you can still order a print on paper or canvas. I’ve been planning on using this art as a winter month desktop calendar for quite some time, and I’m so glad the time has finally come around! […]

Inscrutable Patterns and Other Feline-themed Art Papers

Yes, I went ahead and did it, in part because I have some projects for Valentine’s Day that use this paper! So here it is, available: 11×17 on 80# gloss text 11×11 on 100# matte cover I’ve added them to the post for text-weight art papers in my Etsy shop and the post for cover-weight art […]

Felines and Flowers All-occasion Greetings Package

Some people don’t send cards anymore, and many people keep journals of their days electronically, but still some of my most popular products are greeting cards and calendars. This is a gift package that can last all year long—and possibly even longer! You can even give some of it away and still have enough for […]

Hand-printed Valentine Cards Purr-sonally Inspected By Discerning Black Cats

I usually print these little linocuts in earth tones or “tabby colors”, but I’ve been itching to use brights and pastels and all sorts of combinations with them. I decided they made cute valentines and that’s a great reason to create hand-printed cards in magenta on pink, violet, magenta and red card stock, embellished with […]

Daily Sketch: "Clash of Titans"

The studio wrestling champions, brothers Giuseppe Basil Verdi and Sir Jelly of Bean, engage in the kitchen but it’s all in fun. It started out when Giuseppe said his brother was a dirty mess and needed to be cleaned up and wavered between a bath and a rock ’em sock ’em boxing tournament, then flat […]

Daily Sketch: "Blending"

Jelly Bean watches out the upstairs window, streaming with winter morning sun. The white light glares and introduces all sorts of colors where they don’t normally appear, in Jelly Bean’s black fur, on the pine tabletop, in the lace curtain. . . . . . . . Where to find this artwork I have this […]
