Last week I wrote a post about Little Meow the Parking Lot Kitty. I have followed the real life story of this cat for over a year via one of my favorite blogs Your Daily Cute.
When her situation turned to where she desperately needed a home, I was moved to action. I drew the drawing here in hopes that it would help draw attention to her need.
People around the world helped to tweet and send out Facebook updates in search of a home for her. many a blog post was written about her.
Even Catster featured her on their blog.
I am happy to report that Little Meow has found a home, and it was all because of her own lovability.
Little Meow was taken to a foster home as an interim placement until a permanent home could be found. The young couple who fostered her did not think initially that they would be a good match for her long-term, however, Little Meow apparently turned on the charm. After meeting her and experiencing her irresistible sweetness, they realized that they just couldn’t let her go.
So Little Meow has a furever home! As a bonus, it is in a place where her dear friend Dorian, who has tended to her for years, can visit and continue to be her best pal.
Thank you so much to those of you who responded to my call for help and searched your networks for a home for Little Meow.
I enjoyed making Little Meow’s drawing, and I enjoyed using my artwork for such a great purpose. I may do similar works in the future to help animals in need. Do you have ideas as to how I could do that? I am open to suggestions.
I am most known for my animal artwork and custom pet portraits. I do a lot of other kinds of artwork, however.
Dialogues Murals are commissioned artworks that I do for organizations, companies, conferences, etc. to artistically render the energy of an event or activity.
Have you ever been to a conference or some public celebration and thought, “Oh, if there was just some way that we could keep this energy going!” ? Well, there is a way to keep it going.
Commissioning a Dialogues Mural by BZTAT means that I will: 1) attend your event, 2) create an artwork encompassing your event’s theme on site, 3) interact with participants and encourage them to incorporate their thoughts into the artwork, and 4) provide you with a completed professional artwork for prominent public display.
A Dialogues Mural keeps the energy, inspiration and dialog going well after the event has concluded. Additionally, having an interactive artwork as part of your event creates a memorable attraction that lives on in the hearts of participants.
The mural pictured above was commissioned by Goodwill Community Campus in Canton, OH for the Alzheimer’s Association located at their facility. The messages collaged into the background of the mural were created by staff and participants of the organization’s services.
Although the messages incorporated into the background were done by participants almost a year ago, the thoughts and ideas will continue to inspire for many generations.
You can see more Dialogues Murals here and read more about them.
