Lunatic painter makes fabulous fun stuff.
MY SHOP: Here on Etsy I sell these amazing and practical pet feeding mats for cats and dogs. I paint the original art then have it scanned and printed (here in the US!) onto premium durable neoprene. There are only 250 of each mat so when a design sells out I make new ones!
BEYOND ETSY: I am a painter. I only paint cats and dogs! My work uses salvaged materials combined with images of animals dogs, often in rebus-style combinations.
I travel all around the PNW for street art fairs and I am in a local gallery in Port Angeles, WA. You can see more of my art and my custom pet portraits here: catsdogswords.com
BACKGROUND: I studied fine art at U.C. Berkeley but fearful of starving to death,
I transferred to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA to study illustration
and advertising. I spent a billion years working as a creative director at various ad agencies from New York to Tokyo to Chicago.
Working with fun and talented people gave me a lifelong love of design, illustration, and typography. But the best thing about people in advertising is their sense of humor. All of this has filtered into my work.
