Back in the saddle--Tabby Cat

We are hooked up & settled. Tried my first watercolor here. The NFAC Art contest on eBay starts tonight with a theme of cats, large and small. I haven't done anything for them in ages but thought it would be good to create an entry to get the feel of working here. This is one of Tracy's cats.

Leavin' on a Jet Plane...

One door closes and another one opens. We will be leaving New York and the apartment Matt grew up in and the one we have been living in for the last 20 years to start a new chapter of our lives in Kingston, Jamaica. It's a long story. Tomorrow is not only Easter but World Rat Day. I will celebrate with some old images. I hope to get The Illustrated Rat back in gear very soon.

Still waiting & new Zazzle stuff

We are still waiting in limbo for a closing date for the sale of our apartment. When we can finally get out of here, we will be moving in with friends who live in Kingston, Jamaica. I am at once terrified and cautiously hopeful that life will improve. Haven't been able to do any new artwork for months because the art supplies are packed. Instead of doing the myriad of things that still need doing, I have been adding items to my Zazzle store. I'm enjoying creating custom sneakers though I should go back and make some cheaper stuff.

Cocoa Rat Babies

Cross posting very welcome.

I will be eternally grateful to my friend Luna for taking my dear rats at a point when I had to give them up. At this point, my ability to help with their large vet bills is very limited; however, I've put this small painting up on eBay in hopes that it will raise a little cash for her. Shipping is free and 100% of the winning bid will go to Luna or directly to her vet. Please take a look and spread the word if you can. (By the way, this is a new eBay account of mine. I am now ratartiste)!
