"Space Pussy" Vinyl Toy Pledge/Order Drive at Kickstarter.com!



I have set up a funding site to produce the limited edition vinyl toy of my character, "Space Pussy," that I have been developing...if you get a chance please check it out (and spread the word to as many people as you can, people are only charged if the project is fully funded and the toy will definitely be made!) There are only 89 days left for me to reach full funding, so please pledge/order today!:

"Thom Cat" a big hit at Irene B. West Elementary School!

















I had the great privilege of going to the Irene B. West Elementary School in Elk Grove, CA on February 18, 2010 to help them with a backdrop for their upcoming school play, and to give a talk on being an artist...it was great fun! I was even more honored to receive these photos from teacher Vicki Nelson where the students had decided to draw my character "Thom Cat" (whom I had shown his cartoon and a demonstration on how to draw him for the class) during their free period after I had left...I think they all did a great job! I am looking forward to going back again to give a cartooning lesson, I will try to make my lesson like that great old "Let's Draw" TV show from years agon (that they would play in my first grade class for us)...
