My Maine Coon Tasi dresses up as a Tannenpawm for my 2007 Xmas card.  *coloured pencil and ink w/ digital text*
Gift art for my friend Rebeccah after one of her kitties broke her big Maneki Neko bank.  I chose to use her cat Portabella, though the real kitty culprit was never found.  *digitally coloured*  Sadly Portabella is no longer with us.  :( "Big Lucky"

"Cherry Blossom Maneki Neko (white) and Plum Blossom Maneki Neko (black)"

Santa has some sleigh issues in my 2006 Xmas card.  My cat Tasi and my late kitty, Oreo, make guest appearances *coloured pencil* A very old cartoon version of my kitty Tasi as a Maneki Neko.  *digitally coloured*
   

"Tokyo Sushi Cat"
Several years ago we would eat at a restaurant named Tokyo Sushi.  They were very nice and like that I always doodled kitties at the table.  This was a gift for them, and they even had it printed in the paper as part of their ad!  >^-^<  *acrylics on celluloid - printed stock photo background*
