Wow, that is so crazy
because I was thinking, after that update message, that you should write books,
too!! I have a couple of kids' books that I've written myself, but they
aren't centered around animals. One does have some cats and another
made-up creature that I have based on my cats and others, though. I would
like to branch off with the cats in a younger kids' series where they would
be the central characters. I plan to publish them myself, but we will
see. Right now, I am still sitting on "Spaz's Story". I am supposed
to recording it onto CD this next Sat. But mainly I am a dental
technician, make teeth! I hope you will have the opportunity to pursue
some of these things that you want to do and obviously have the talent
for.
Thanks for taking time
to look at my site! I just posted 6 "new" pictures the other
day.

Phelix, the alpha male of my house, was born with only one eye...and he is
large and in charge. I keep wanting to do some children's books about
'Phelix the one-eyed wonder kitty'...I suppose the underlying theme being that
just because someone looks or seems different - they are still very neat and
special with their own talents. Another children's book might be the
story of Redoute Robin...that I documented a few years ago:
ok - way too much about me...what do you guys do besides be incredible
kitty parents?

Oh my
dear, you have a calling. I can see why you'd be reluctant to give up
your daytime job if it pays the rent well, but I can't help feel that you
should be working full time on your art! I'm itching to help you
promote it. It might not ever be as lucrative, (then again, who
knows?), but the benefits to you and the rest of our sometimes dreary world
might just be worth it. I think everyone should do their best to
incorporate their passion into their livelihood, if they did, the world
would be a kinder place. Have you ever thought of framing them and
offering them for sale? You could display the originals and then sell
prints. Is your vet an upscale sort of place? Maybe you could
start by putting some in local restaurants and/or your vet's office.
You could sell them at charitable events/auctions... Hmm... let
me think about this!

If I could do anything I wanted to for a living - I would do cat
portraits. Sadly though - I live alone with 8 cats so I'm the only
one paying the bills (plus, the kitties like to surf the web and use my
credit cards when they aren't sneaking the car out to go joy
riding). I have to have a sense of stability and
security...so I am biding my time in a high pressure position that
requires absolutely nothing artistic or creative and makes me wish I had a
valium IV.
