Donations Update; Modern Dog Magazine!

Today I sent donations to these rescue organizations:

TOTAL DONATION for April - Aug 2010: $460

A big thank you to everyone who has ordered portraits of their pets!!!

As you know, I donate 20% from every Doggie Drawing commission. So, when you place your order do let me know if there is a specific rescue that you would like me to donate to.

In other news, my illustration “How Not To Greet A Dog” is in the current (Fall) issue of Modern Dog Magazine. :) www.moderndogmagazine.com

Donations Update; Please help Eddie!

For the period of Jan-March 2010, I have just donated a total of $365 to

…and last but not least, to Boston Brigade Rescue for Eddie the 3 year old boston terrier. It’s another shockingly sad story. Eddie was used as bait in pitbull fights, and is suffering from horrible injuries and ruptured eyes.

Read about Eddie HERE and please chip in if you can!

Donations Update and a FAQ

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has ordered drawings of your pets! A total of $630 has been donated to American Boston Terrier Rescue. This is 25% of received commissions for August, September & October 2009.

Please visit the ABTR website - there are many Special Needs boston terriers that need your help and I know their vet bills are HUGE. You can also contribute by purchasing goodies from the ABTR Cafepress store.

As of next month, I will be again, sending donations to Boston Buddies. Don’t forget to let me know the rescue organization of your choice when commissioning a portrait of your doggies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Do you draw cats, birds, fish, and other animals?
YES! At the same prices.

Do you draw people?
NO, sorry. For this Doggie Drawings project, I draw pets only. The illustrations of PEOPLE that you may have seen on my flickr account are most probably “gifts” or drawings that I did for fun. Having said this … if you really really must have a portrait of yourself with your pet, I will consider the request but note that I may be drawing in a different style and will charge different prices. This artwork would be separate from the Doggie Drawings fundraiser project.

You have drawn my dogs - I would like to add some items/decorations to the drawing to make it Holiday-themed. Will you do this?
YES! If I am reusing the drawings that I have already done without creating new portrait poses, I can add extra elements and will charge a tiny fee.

Example: CHUBBY & MYNNE

Thanks again for your support!

Thank you for all your wonderful support! Yes, I am still drawing and you can keep track of my work right here on this blog, or on my flickr. Here is a donations update for the past two months (June-July 2009). As promised, I am continuing to donate 25% of commissions to rescue groups.

French Bulldog Village Rescue - $85

American Boston Terrier Rescue - $120

You can also purchase my artwork at the ABTR Cafepress Store; royalties will go towards helping boston terriers in need.

Donations update & Fundraiser for ABTR

Thank you for your continued support and for telling your friends about my work. I really appreciate it. Times are financially tough right now so I am extremely grateful to all my clients. This Doggie Drawings project is also a fundraiser, so you are also helping dogs in need and this is always a wonderful thing.

The last donation I made was at the end of February. This quarter, I am donating a total of $340 to Boston Buddies, which is 25% of all commissions received in the months of March, April and May 2009. THANK YOU!

I want to introduce you all to American Boston Terrier Rescue (ABTR) which is based in Texas. I recently designed for Wanda at ABTR, a new logo for their website.
