We have an annual Ice Festival in the Canton Arts District on the first First Friday of the new year. In the past, I have carved ice sculptures for the event, but this year I am staying indoors. I am still making an ice cat, though!
This year, I am working with Glassmith Artists to create an ice cat out of glass! We are creating the above image as a stain glass artwork.
If you are in Canton, be sure to stop by tonight and see the “Ice, Ice Kitty!” at the Creative Ohio Gallery. if not, you can follow the evening’s events on the Creative Ohio Facebook page.
Also, if you would like to buy a print or the original artwork, please contact me. The original is $60 + shipping. Prints (to fit 8″ x 10″ frame) are $25 + shipping. The stain glass piece will also be available for purchase at a later date.
I had a request for a Rottie (Rottweiler) drawing, so here it is. Not exactly a doodle, but a little bit less formal than one of my other drawings. I am enjoying playing with a looser style that is creating some fresh new drawings!
This drawing is a doodle, which is, according to Wikipedia, “an unfocused drawing made while a person’s attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.” My doodles often have some focus to them, but they are less formal than a regular drawing. Sometimes the images are somewhat cartoonish and sometimes they are just scribbles and line formations.
For each day from Dec. 1 – 15 (2011) I will make a December Doodle drawing and hold an auction for it here on the blog. These drawings will make nice gifts, and if you want, I will gift wrap and mail to whomever you would like the gift(s) to go. And since animals always are in greater need as winter takes hold, I will donate 10% of the proceeds to a registered animal charity.
Which charity? You help me decide! Post the charity that you would like me to support on my Facebook Fanpage, and I will randomly select from all the submissions on Dec. 15, 2011. (Charities must be for animal rescue, in the United States, and must have a 501(c) non-profit status.)

How did December get here so fast?!!! Well, it is here, so lets make the best of it.
I love making drawings, and people seem to enjoy the auctions I do to sell them, so I thought I would do a December Doodle promotion. For each day from Dec. 1 – 15 (2011) I will make a December Doodle drawing and hold an auction for it here on the blog. These drawings will make nice gifts, and if you want, I will gift wrap and mail to whomever you would like the gift(s) to go.

I am also always open to suggestions for what to draw, so please feel free to give me ideas on my Facebook Fanpage as well!
