Hi Craig and welcome to Purrs  ;D

I would love one of my boy at some point, but being pure black, guess he's a bit tricky to draw  :tired:

Oooo now Memphis is too young for his portrait, but how are you at Border Collies and Rabbits? I've been dying to have theirs done forever.

awww toby says thanks sam:)lol . haha what a great pic of a chameleon, didnt he mind u pickin him up? theyre awesome animals, they just make me laugh the way they walk and act lol.

He seemed really chilled ... I just put my hand on the floor and he walked straight onto it.  I soooo wanted to bring him home with me but was told in no uncertain terms that I had to leave him  >:(

I love the way they walk ... all jerky and wobbly  :rofl:  and I love they way they wrap their little tails round you to hang on  :Luv2:

Hi Smyth, love your work!! Have you done many portraits of long haired cats? Would you be able to do a group picture of say for example 3 cats?

Oh yeah ... I must have missed the pic of Toby  :shy: Doh!!!! Sorry Toby.  You're right he is gorgeous.  And a Chameleon ooooh how lovely I think they are wonderful I "met" a chameleon in May this year o holiday in Spain ... he was wandering along the footpath so I picked him up and put him in a nearby bush out of harms way:

No it's a different auction Craig.  We have just had an auction on this site http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php?board=51.0   it was very successful and al lmoney raised goes towards cat rescue / rehoming.

Great news that you are help Cpl Smokey out with their auction  :Luv2:

Meant to ask do you have furry friends of your own ... if so we need names and pics (or drawings) of them  ;)

Craig just had a look at your website and the pics are fab ... I love the cheeky little beagle.

I am definitely interested in getting a pic done but as Hannah says most of us are a bit strapped for cash at the moment as we have just spent all our spare pennies (and pounds) on the Christmas auction so I think it'll be after Xmas.

Thankyou for the welcome jackspratt:D lol hanna i take that as a compliment for sure, strange = different = good :) they take me roughly a day to do depending on what animal im doin really, if they have really long textured coats then it might take me a little longer.

i have to say i like your style very much - its kinda... strange, but it works very well and its lovely (hope that wasnt offensive....  :innocent: )

I think it is the white outlining, that gives a bit of surreal touch, but also an unique style. ;)

Hi Craig and welcome to Purrs, loved the pix on your link, but maybe you should read the conditions of use first. Do you have any furbabes of your own, and if so, can we have pix?? It's the rulez to show pix of your babes  :rofl:
