Cheetah Twins Wrapped Canvas Art Print Diptych
$245.00
These are two separate pieces that go together. Amani Duma (cheetah facing right) and Amani Duma Pacha (cheetah facing left). Although I can't claim that the grammar is correct, the names are Swahili, from Southeast Africa. Amani Duma means peace cheetah, and Amani Duma Pacha means peace cheetah twin. When you put the two works together the tree in the background forms a peace sign.
Cheshire Cat Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This grinning Cheshire Cat has visited all kinds of far off places by reading books from his local library. If you want to know how that monocle stays over his eye, it must be the zero gravity of outer space.
To pose for you he sits atop a pile of some of his favorite reads:
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
- The Far Side, Gary Larson
- The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury
- The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants, Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and Aristid Lindenmayer

$85.00

Cosmos Cat's Eye Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
I've been wanting to paint the topic of cats in space for quite awhile, so here is "Cosmos", my first painting along that theme. Have you ever wondered how a cat sees the universe? Maybe they, like us, think the cosmos revolves around them. In this case the cosmos is watching back in the form of a giant cats eye surrounded by crackling lightning in the midst of a beautiful and colorful nebula. A single cat observes the view from the platform of his own little ship of the imagination.
Dancing Dead Valentine Skeleton Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This pretty skeleton woman started out in the month of October as a Day of the Dead painting, and she originally wore an orange dress. But I had to put the painting aside for a few months and wasn't able to finish it until February. At that point a pink dress made more sense to me, so I changed the color and added the valentine hearts as a flourish. Dancing by herself in a green field with yellow flowers, she seems to know just how pretty she looks.
Many of the little girls who have commented on this painting call her a princess. They don't seem to even notice the bones.
Earl Grey Cat in a Tea Cup Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
A cat by the name of Earl Grey sitting in a tea cup. With his gold collar and filigree he thinks he's aristocracy, but really he's named after the aromatic black tea.

A woman in a long dress and a cat walk down a road together, surrounded by brilliant red leaves that lay in contrast to a foggy sky. While some people long for the sun, others will find this overcast walk in the woods to be the epitome of a perfect day.
Friendly Forest (with Gray Cat) Wrapped Canvas Print

The other trees tried to warn him, but Clyde had never heard of a scratching post.

Gato Azul (meaning blue cat) is a black cat decorated as a sugar skull for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in water blue, including a fish on the forehead and an ocean wave on the chest.
While most of our canvas have black sides, this canvas stands out because it has blue sides.
Gato Luna (Dia de los Muertos Purple Cat) Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
Gato Luna (meaning moon cat) is a black cat decorated as a sugar skull for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in deep purple, including phases of the moon on the forehead and a bat in front of the moon on the chest.
While most of our canvas have black sides, this canvas stands out because it has purple sides.

Gato Rojo (meaning red cat) is a black cat decorated as a sugar skull for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in fire red, including flames around the eyes and a rising phoenix bird on the chest.

Happy Cat Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This painting started out as a very rough sketch of a Pallas's Cat (Otocolobus manul). That's where the bright eyes, wide open mouth, short ears, and the orange and green colors came from. Beyond the superficial, this tabby cat bears no resemblance to the original photo. Pallas's Cats are awesome though, I invite you to google them.
The original title for this painting was Happy Happy Joy Cat, a reference to the Ren and Stimpy happy helmet. The tented fingers remind me of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons whenever he says "excellent".
While I think of this cat as happy, and probably scheming, I've had customers call it crazy cat. That works too.
Happy Homebrewer Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
I painted this skeleton drinking a beer because we have quite a few home-brewers in the family. They can get pretty creative with their beer recipes, and being a cat person I thought the idea of Kitty Litter Lager was really funny. So this happy home-brewer made up his own batch of Kitty Litter Lager using his own original recipe which you can see hanging on the fridge. It's a Munich Dunkel with an extra special secret ingredient. One might wonder if that's what killed him.
Harbinger (Snowy Owl Wraith) Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This snowy owl displays aspects of a wraith along with a Dia de los Muertos design, combining the fear of death and the acceptance of loss in to one entity.

This magical starlit scene depicts a winged brown tabby cat and a pair of miniature imps hovering over a glowing cauldron of bubbly pink brew. The dark imps are devilishly cute with blue fur, big yellow eyes, pointy tails, and tiny wings of their own. All three creatures smile in anticipation of the results of their conjuring.
Irish Leprecat Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
While leprechauns are part of old Irish lore, this leprecat is more reflective of an Americanized St Patrick's Day. He has a rainbow leading to his pot of gold, but instead of coins he has a nice glass of golden colored beer. His expression suggests that's not his first glass of the night. He's also decked out in a green coat and hat with a gold buckle. The one truly traditional aspect of this leprechaun is that he has nice boots, which a real leprechaun would have made himself. The man in the moon is keeping watch over this happy little leprecat and will make sure he gets home safely.
La Llorona as a Skeleton Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This is my take on the legend of La Llorona. The story says that La Llorona, also known as The Weeping Woman, drowned her own children and was then doomed to spend eternity searching for them.
The mythology goes even further with parents using the story to scare their children, saying that La Llorona will come and get them if they don't behave. If you hear wailing in the night, especially near water, that too is La Llorona hunting down some unfortunate soul.
So here she is, in vibrant full color, wearing the remnants of her tattered white dress while lifting the skeletons of her children up from the bottom of a deep blue lake. Light shines down from above while a swarm of will-o'-the-wisp spirits follows them up from the bottom with pretty little fish swimming all around. Her maniacal expression betrays that she has completely lost her mind.
La Muerte's Cat Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
La Calavera Catrina makes a guest appearance as La Muerte, who you encounter with her larger than life feline companion while walking down an autumn forest road. They have matching hair (white), matching eyes (ice blue), and matching accessories (pink). Noticing the skeleton slumped over farther down the road, your spine begins to tingle under the attention of their intense stares.

Lucipurr Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
A gray and white cat with big green eyes and devilish horns wears an elegant pink cape while perched on top of a skull. She has a heart-shaped clasp with a cursive 'L' for her name. The skull helplessly looks up at her in dismay. Her favorite toys lay scattered around the red tile floor - a pink ball of yarn, a catnip mouse, and a scratching post - as well as her litter box and water bowl. In the background a roaring fire in an arched stone fireplace gives the whole room a warm glow.
Major Tom and the Outer Space Angler Fish Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
I based this painting on a photo from Discover Magazine, just because I thought it looked interesting. The purple and tan color choices came from the original reference photo. The painting started out as just the angler fish, I hadn't decided yet what the angler would be luring in. When I added in the sea floor, the black water above it reminded me of outer space so the astronaut was a natural addition. By that point of course the painting needed some stars and a ringed planet. It might be Saturn, but it does't have to be. I didn't actually think of the astronaut as Major Tom until the painting was done.
Many of my paintings are dark enough that some people find them disturbing. This painting is a rare example where one of my own paintings actually creeps me out. Just a little.
Masquerade Skeleton with Thirteen Black Cats Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
A skeleton in a cat costume and thirteen black cats, all wearing matching masquerade masks. This must be how cat people spend the afterlife.
Mycroft the Victorian Cat Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
Mycroft is a proper Victorian cat wearing a monocle and top hat, with the city of London in the background. There is something else afoot here though, as you can tell from the thirteen book soaring through the sky like birds.
Noche del Pinguino Night of the Penguin Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This painting features a colorful Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Penguin amid swirls of snow flurries and a backdrop of the southern lights, the aurora australis.
Outnumbered Revenge of the Sunflowers Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
I got the idea for this painting from some really tall sunflowers in the neighbors yard. They were leaning down over the block wall and seemed almost menacing in the way they towered above us. The greens, blues, and rays of white sunlight in the painting seem almost peaceful, so in order to get the threatening mood across I needed to add a potential victim (the red bird). I prefer to think that the bird will yet escape from the six deadly sunflowers and their collection of bones.

Phantom of the Opera Cat Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This painting is an ode to The Phantom of The Opera in the form of a dilute calico cat. Her fur pattern mimics the man in the mask, and her eyes reflect a hint of the infamous chandelier. The red rose over the cat's paws is of course a symbol of love. The musical includes a haunting scene with candles in fog, and I chose that as the backdrop for my rendition the story. It was my intention though that the romantic and gothic imagery might speak to a larger audience that might not be familiar with the story of the opera ghost.
Pumpkin Peeper Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This painting started out as a simple autumn arrangement, with yellow flowers and red berries in a white pumpkin jack-o-lantern. The carving makes the pumpkin look a bit like a happy skull, and there are thirteen of the daisy-like flowers in the arrangement. To make the painting a little more fun and interesting I added the cute furry little black creature with blue eyes peeking out from the pumpkin's eye. The gold background really adds to the display of fall-color and extends the range of this painting well beyond Halloween.
Purrberus the Three-Headed Sphynx Cat Wrapped Canvas Print
$125.00
You've probably heard the story of Cerberus, the three-headed hell-hound that guards the entrance to the Greek underworld. But not many people know that Cerberus has a feline counterpart, the three-headed sphynx cat named Purrberus. You can see her here being pampered and petted by Hades himself, sitting together on a red velvet throne. Hades is so enamored with Purrberus that he commissioned special wallpaper for her room, adorned with an elegant cat-face triad. You too can show your love for Purrberus by wearing a t-shirt of her wallpaper design.
You might notice that Purrberus is wearing a stylish Outlaw Kitty (TM) pendant, available from Outlaw Kritters.

In this painting a wide eyed skeleton and thirteen black cats peer over the edge of a grave in to the depths of the earth while a giant moon looms overhead in a beautiful starlit night sky. Only the skeleton looks directly down, the cats are all looking elsewhere.
Skeleton Key with Raven Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This entire candle lit painting revolves around a fancy brass skeleton key. The story begins with a curious black raven dangling the key through an opening in an ornate coffin. The bird intends to aid a skeleton in escaping from the coffin, which is wrapped in chains and secured with an elaborately decorated brass padlock. The smiling skeleton fingers the lock in anticipation while reaching for the key...
Spring Fling Skeleton with Bunny Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
This painting started as a post-it note that I scribbled at the kitchen table while looking out the back window. My yard doesn't have all these pretty spring flowers but there is a lot of greenery so somehow that turned in to this. The little bunny rabbit wasn't part of the original sketch but I think he adds some extra humor to the skeleton gleefully running and tossing flowers around. For a bit of trivia, there are thirteen pale pink flowers, thirteen bunches of purple flowers, thirteen bunches of yellow flowers, and thirteen poofy clouds, although the most pale clouds are somewhat difficult to see. I based the sunset background and rays of light on a reference photo.
Teddy Bear and the Reaper Wrapped Canvas Print
$85.00
The original name of this painting was The Fear of Death but Teddy Reaper just seems to fit better. While the grim reaper is the main figure, the teddy bear kind of steals the show. Many people have wanted to know where Death got the teddy bear, why he has it, or who he took it from. I don't know the answer. The trees and morning light suggest that the reaper is on his way somewhere or perhaps just returning from a job, but maybe he brought the bear with him or maybe he very recently acquired it. I prefer to leave that open to interpretation.
Vorspiel the Creeping Skeleton Wrapped Canvas Print
$125.00
I originally painted this piece for a concert at Gammage Auditorium called The Art of War. The invited artists were to select a composition from the concert and create a piece of artwork named after the music. So this painting is my interpretation of "Vorspiel" from the opera "Die Walküre" (The Valkyrie) by Richard Wagner.
