Gotta Treat for Me?

Today's ACEO. (I wish some real work would come in. Sigh).

Lord Phat Kidd Takes the Waters

Another episode in the life of Lord Phat Kidd. Unfortunately for him, the Cray Brothers had jobs as orderlies.

Valentine in the Museum

Matt did this for me for Valentine's Day. It was chosen to represent pet rats and hung at the New York Historical Society in their exhibit "Petopia, The History of Urban Pets." These were specific rats we had at the time, and the curator obviously did not notice Big Junior (agouti) giving the finger to Psycho Sammy (a nasty triamese boy).

Romulus the Beggar

Romulus was a small agouti rex boy who was the world's biggest food beggar. These drawings were inspired by the beggar in Richard Lester's wonderful film, The Three Musketeers, who switches identities when the first doesn't work: "Alms for a blind man...alms for a cripple..."

Hooded Rats

Some medieval costume ideas.

White Rat Plaid Shirt

Entry in the NFAC contest, theme: plaid.

Nibblefest Art Contest

The Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC) is a monthly themed art contest run on eBay. It begins on the 20th of each month and ends on the 27th. Every month there is a theme: May is "Jungle Life." Artists can submit any kind of work, but they must follow posting guidelines, and every bid must begin at 99 cents. The person with the most bids at the end wins (a little trophy or something). Search eBay after the 20th for NFAC--you will see some wonderful stuff. it's a great chance to acquire original art at next to nothing proces.

The Lord Phat Kidd Broadsheets

Fat Kid was an old pompous hairless rat we used to have. He once had an encounter (mercifully brief) with a pair of bullying nekkid boys named The Crays. This event took on a life of its own, and Lord Phat Kidd was born.

Some rat portraits.

Nude Beach

This was an entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest for the theme of "Nude." I was inspired by my friend from Jamaica and her stories. Our pink lovlies have their Red Stripe, but do they have enough sun block!
