See all the “Okey’ October” artworks!

” I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.” ~ Audrey Hepburn

I am not so much a “pink” kind of girl myself, but this gray tuxie sure is! She sure seems to enjoy her pink blanket.

In honor of my cat Okey whose “Gotcha Day” is October 30, I am making an artwork every day in October, and posting it here on my blog. As I have done with “drawing a day” activities in the past, each artwork will be available for bidding in an auction in the blog post dedicated to it.

Along with each artwork will be a “Thought for the Day” that will offer some kind of encouragement about overcoming challenges.

Okey has inspired a worldwide movement to bring awareness to the links between animal abuse, child abuse and domestic violence called: Okey’s Promise: Art for a Cause. All of the proceeds for the auctions will go towards the Okey’s Promise: Celebrating the Human – Animal Bond project, which is my second Okey’s Promise public art project.

My recent Kickstarter fund raising campaign for the project fell short of its goal, so I have had to start over with the fund raising. You can contribute here if you would like to support the project outside of the auctions.

To make it a little more fun, I am going to have a special contest! Everyone who bids on one of the Okey’s October artworks here on the blog will be entered into a contest for a free artwork! You don’t have to win a bid, just make a bid. All bidders will be entered into a random drawing for a special artwork at the end of the month.

“We love black cats!” ~ Romeo the Cat

Romeo the Cat, famous pet blogger and pet rescue advocate is sponsoring “Global Black Cat Week” this week, featuring black cats on his blog all week. I thought I would draw another black cat to celebrate along with Romeo, and also give another shout out to the black cats of our world. Black cats get a lot of negative press around Halloween, so the more that we can celebrate their beauty, the better.
