Author of "The Kool Katz Guide to Slap Bass", Justyn Delbridge, requested cute cat illustrations to demonstrate lessons and teachings in his children's musical instruction book.

ReMart Eco-Stores was founded 20 years ago with environmental stewardship and high-quality, name brand products in mind. Many of their listings are items purchased from larger retailers at discounted prices due to overstock or surface level imperfections.

Every purchase with ReMart prevents the need for new products to be produced, and the additional carbon emissions that come with that process.

"Be The Change" was completed in 2014 for a local Elementary school in my area. I was asked to paint an inspirational message to the kids and include some of the local fauna and wildlife. Working with the school principle, we decided to include the Blue Heron, Japanese cherry blossoms, and lavender among other options. She decided the message would be "Be the Change You Wish to See in the World" with the tagline "Si, se puede, yes I can" as a tribute to the current political messaging.
