Pen & Ink portraits

[Cleopatra Beers]

This all began when Christmas in July got dropped into my lap by Julie. "You can do it easily," was the operable phrase.



So I did the illustration for Ziggy Stardust. It's somewhere on the forum. I can't find my photo right now. The illustration above is one of my favorites. These are done from submitted photos. When you are drawing cats photos work best since the actual subjects tend to not want to hold a pose.



If you have a litteral hoard of kitties like Susi, you can send multiple photos and I can arrange the skteches into whatever collage you like. Just remember, thumbnails are too low of resolution to draw from.

Pricing depends on how many cats are in the drawing. The usual fee is $25 per kitty since I'm very fast with a pencil. This type of art can also go onto tote bags. The cost of the art goes up to $35 per cat because it is a bit harder to draw on fabric and the there is an extra $15 for the cost of the tote, bringing the totebag with your kitty on it to $50 plus whatever the post office charges.

First off, that one of the two kittens is adorable!

Would it be possible for you to do one of these with a Sphynx and a French Bulldog? I love the look of pen and ink and really want to get one, but I wouldn't feel right getting it of just one of my "kids."

We sure can! Any pet that you have a picture of can be put into a drawing. Of course you can't leave anyone out!

The Kiss is one of my favorite pics too, Bob. And you captured them perfectly!

How much would a tote be with a painting like you did on the shoes?

I fell in love with 'Susi's gang 'the day she posted it first! It's incredible!
