Printed Items

When I was visiting my family in Denver for Thanksgiving 2015, I thought I would do two Bentleys, one for Karen and one for her husband Kenny. Kenny is a huge Broncos fan and was watching football all weekend. It hit me that I could do one in purples for Karen and one in the Broncos colors for Kenny. It is challenging to complete a piece using a dictated color scheme, but I think the little Bronco came out nicely. Karen and I picked out a frame so I could send her home with a finished piece for him. She told me she was planning on giving it to him for his birthday in March, but couldn't wait! He told me he loved it, which made me happy.

When my sister Karen came to visit recently, I surprised her with this piece of Bentley, her handsome Miniature Schnauzer. She loved it, and we went and picked out a frame so I could send her home with a completed, framed piece. I thought the lavender and purple combination came out looking great, not just because Karen likes purple, but also because the lavender mimics Bentley's silvery coat. It felt good to send Karen home with him. 

Scratch (Multi) printed on a business card case. I figured I should put one of my art pieces on a business card case for my business cards.  

The Green Dog Rescue Project Fundraising Event - 2015. Printed on photo paper and framed and matted. 

Cooper capering across our dining room wall. I did Caper about a year after Flying Dinah as a companion piece. I like to think Caper shows the progression in my technique, compared to how primitive Flying Dinah is. Printed on canvas.

Dinah flying across our dining room wall. Flying Dinah is one of the first pieces I did. It is quite primitive compared to the pieces that followed. I did Caper about a year later as a companion. I like how similar they are, yet very different in how they show my progression in technique. Printed on canvas.

Sheba came out so great when I used only reds, that I had to use her as an image for my business cards. I never met Sheba, but she looks so regal with that pose! The back is Hi Line and I used a font that I created years ago based on my own handwriting.

I just completed a new 2015 cat wall calendar. I created variations of my previous cats, so there's a cat for every month! You'll see Harold enjoying the cool January weather, Dinah catching raindrops in April, Shadow in a colorful ring of May flowers, Dinah basking in the hot August sun and many more! It's spiral bound, printed on heavyweight paper stock and is 17 inches x 11 inches when opened and hanging on a wall.

An update of my "Year of the Cat" 2016 calendar. All your favorite months are back! 

I decided to use Sylvia from my December 2015 Cat Calendar for our Christmas Cards. 

I had the alternate versions of Sheba, Shadow and Sylvia printed on ceramic Christmas ornaments. The colors worked well for Christmas and they came out rich, glossy and smooth. 

Last Day run through a filter or two on Photoshop and printed onto a laptop skin. This is the only time I've used Photoshop for an art piece. Jeff took this photo of me hugging Simon. He died the next day and I still get teary when I look at the photo. Best dog ever!

I tend to use Stay (Multi) as a sort of logo for my artwork because I love the colors and the look on Mr. Cooper's face. The back is Ride (Green) and I used a font that I created years ago based on my own handwriting. 

Stay (Multi) printed on glass. I didn't realize when I ordered it that I couldn't have chosen a better color palette for printing on glass due to the almost stained glass effect. This is hanging in our bathroom.

Stay (Brown) printed on a mouse pad for Jeff. Although Stay (Multi) usually gets more comments, I love the color combinations of this one. Earthy and camouflage at the same time.

Cooper lounging on our couch. The first pieces I did were usually just shapes. I like how their silhouettes look against the fields of background colors. These two were done as a pair and are hanging in our office. Printed on glossy photo paper.

Stay (Multi) printed on a phone case for Jeff's Samsung Galaxy S3. Now Jeff can always have Mr. Cooper close to his (h)ear(t)!

I had Good Morning printed on a phone case for my Samsung Galaxy S4. Now people can see who I'm always talking to and Jeff can look at who's looking at me while I'm talking to him. 

Early on, I experimented a lot with Rorschach designs. This is Scratch in blue, in a sort of mirror image. The first thing I noticed when I flipped Dinah and made her kiss herself, was that my hand scratching her created a heart. It then followed to make her hug herself. Anyone who knows Dinah, knows she could use all the love she can get. Printed on canvas. 

Dinah diving into a cool, blue pool on the side of a coffee mug. I extended the water all the way around the mug. I am very happy with how vibrant this came out. 

They say there are only two types of people in the world: cat people and everyone else. Here's a calendar for everyone else! You'll see Dashiell ringing in the New Year, Olive riding a 4th of July rocket, Kai rolling in September leaves, Roxy as Frankenstein for Halloween and many more! Each month is a variation on one of my previous dog art prints.

Feral Cat Caretakers Coalition Fund Raiser at Bar and Garden in Culver City, California – 2013. Printed on photo paper mounted in an acrylic frame.

Southern California Counseling Center Fundraising Gala - 2015. Printed on photo paper and matted and framed. 

Hi Line printed on 20"x36" glossy metal, hanging in our office. The original building in New York City is shiny, reflective metal, so having it printed on a giant piece of glossy metal is only fitting. 

This is an early piece I did based on a photo of Jeff walking Mr. Cooper. If you look closely, you can see Jeff in profile, and Mr. Cooper walking in front of him. Printed on glossy photo paper. 

Kip is a kitty who showed up on our doorstep and we tried to adopt him, but Dinah wasn't having any of it. We ended up finding a perfect and loving home for him. After finishing this, I had it framed and surprised his adoptive family with it for Christmas. I had to keep those golden eyes! Such a handsome cat!

As a surprise gift for Greg and Michael, I had two Olives printed on iPhone cases for them. They were thrilled and I was happy that they liked them so much. 

Sadly, Olive recently passed away. She was a great lady, and will be missed. I decided to give Greg and Michael another, different set of phone cases because they told me a while ago that the other two I gave them broke. I wanted to give them new cases so they could carry a piece of Olive with them where ever they go.

Roll printed on glossy metal as a Christmas present for Jeff. Done as a companion piece to Over. I gave Jeff one for Christmas and the other a month later for his birthday. From photos of Mr. Cooper in a few of his many comical poses. They are hanging in our dining room. Printed on glossy metal.

Over printed on glossy metal as a birthday present for Jeff. Done as a companion piece to Roll. I gave Jeff one for Christmas and the other a month later for his birthday. From photos of Mr. Cooper in a few of his many comical poses. They are hanging in our dining room. Printed on glossy metal. 

As a wedding gift for Angel and Jim, I had my piece PR Turret printed on a 16x20 piece of glass. Angel is from Puerto Rico and now Jim is an honorary Puerto Rican! I'm so happy for both of them.

Southern California Counseling Center Fundraising Gala - 2013. Printed on photo paper and matted and framed.

After admiring my Scratch (Multi) tote, which I carry my lunch in to work everyday, a coworker asked for Scratch (Multi) on a zip hoodie. He wanted it small and over the left breast. I had it printed on a 90 cotton/10 poly black zip hoodie for him. Came out great and he's very pleased with it!

Since I was printing Scratch (Multi) on a zip hoodie for my coworker, I figured I'd also print one for me on a solid black 90 cotton/10 poly hoodie. I love it and I can advertise my website too! I’m thinking of wearing my Scratch (Multi) t-shirt under it, while carrying my Surface in my Sylvia (Alternate) tablet case, talking on my phone that is housed in my Good Morning phone case, drinking coffee out of my Dive mug while also wearing my dad's Ride (Black) tie ... too much?

Scratch (Blue) printed on a mouse pad. Sometimes it looks like Dinah is chasing the mouse around the mouse pad. She'd be so happy if that were true!

Southern California Counseling Center Fundraising Gala - 2014. Printed on photo paper and matted and framed.

Ride (Black) printed on a tie for my dad for Father's Day 2014. Now Dad can wear his old 1952 MG whenever he feels like it. I sent the photo to a company online who printed it on the tie. They didn't have a preview option, they only described how it would turn out, so it was a surprise. I think it came out great!

For the Feral Cat Caretakers Coalition 2014 fundraising event, I had these reusable grocery tote bags printed up. I donated 4 of each design for them to sell and they did really well! People loved them and they made some money of the coalition, which made me feel good. All of them sold except one, so now I have one too! 

I decided to get Olive printed on glass and give two variations since she has two owners. I flipped the blues and greys. I still can't decide which one I prefer! I love the look on her face. Such a cute little dog!

I had an alternate version of Sylvia printed onto a tablet case to hold my Surface Pro, which is what I use to complete my artwork. One of my favorite palettes.

I had a set of coasters printed using Tongue, Good Morning, Me and Stay (Multi). I had to get a second set because our pup Dashiell chewed up the first set. I guess he saw too much competition with Dinah and Mr Cooper. 

I took the piece I did of Stay that I used in my 2016 Dog Calendar for the month of August and printed it on a beach towel for Jeff. The reds, oranges and yellows were perfect for enjoying the sunny beach weather. 

As a companion to Stay (August) I took the piece I did of Dashiell in my 2016 Calendar for the month of May and printed it on a beach towel for myself. It looks great lying on the beach next to Cooper in reds, oranges and yellows!
