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!

Boogie loves All-Mighty @ the Boston Tea Party!

You may have already seen these postcards on my Flickr.

These are drawings of my boston terrier - BOOGIE, with gals wearing All-Mighty clothing! (From L to R: The Beasley, The Fanny, and The Boris)

Look out for these postcards in All-Mighty’s gift bags at the Boston Tea Party this coming Saturday (details here). There will also be BT plushes and lots of other cool stuff donated by artists in the gift bags!

Justice for BANDIT

This is so unbelievably sad and shocking.

On July 12th, a 5 year old boston terrier - BANDIT (who happens to look like my Boogie with his one blue eye) was found mutilated and murdered on the grounds of Rex Putnam High School, in Milwaukie, Oregon. Bandit had been stolen from his family’s yard, stabbed, skinned and hung on a tree.

READ THE NEWS STORY HERE

The Oregon Humane Society (OHS) is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this horrible crime.

On September 19th, there will be a memorial for Bandit where Bandit was murdered. 100’s of BT/dog lovers will be present. Proceeds from raffles and gift donations will go to a Bandit Memorial as well as to rescue efforts for Bostons in Portland.

This drawing is my donation to the Bandit Memorial:

Stay tuned. I will post info soon on where/how to purchase this poster of Bandit.

*UPDATE*

Erica and Jen from All-Mighty Clothing will be printing a LIMITED EDITION of 11 x 17’ posters! These will be available for purchase - $20 each - from the Oregon Humane Society at the Bandit Memorial event.

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.
