![]() So it's that time of year again - when we start thinking about the upcoming holidays and gifties we might want to choose for people. I don't know about you, but I usually pick gifts that are unique, handcrafted, maybe personalized, but definitely personal! (Also, true confession time - I usually find gifts that I like too - and often end up buying one for myself!) Its also the busy season for the art shows and for custom works - yikes! Emma and I have several shows coming up; Nov 4th Macville PS in Bolton, ON Nov 11th Vegfest, London, ON Dec 2nd The Marketplace, Vellore VillageCC, Vaughn,ON Dec 9th Homer Watson Gallery, Kitchener, ON There are new pieces that are being unveiled - such as the Tiger (scratchboard & watercolour 5x7") shown above. So much fun! This is one of the new images that will be up on the website, and Etsy very soon! I currently have 3 custom orders on the go, Including one that features 6 different animal friends... Both Emma and I are rapidly filling up all the custom spaces that we will be able to have ready by the holidays -If you are thinking about ordering a pet portrait for the holidays, (for yourself or someone else) please get in touch soon! I hope you are enjoying the gorgeous, weather! And if you pop in to visit any of the shows we are doing, please stop and say hello! Mention this article and we have a small gift just for you. (hugs) Shelly

This image was created to fundraise for their care at a sanctuary called Ralphy's Retreat, where they will be safe and happy. On the very positive side - we now have lots of lovely reference photos of adorable tiny bunnies, and lots of cute sketches! Maybe a kids book might be in the works... Stay tuned! Have you heard about Patreon? It's a very cool artist platform, that encourages people to support artists whose work they believe in.
Everything is very transparent - you know what the artists' goals are, how many people are supporting them and how much they are earning. Supporters receive rewards that vary at different tiers. For example, the most popular tier for OnDragonWIngs is the ATC Supporter. For $7/month, you receive a happy little Artist Trading Card (ATC) mailed to your house, anywhere in the world. For $12/month, you can have a 4x6" print mailed to your door. You can currently choose from a number of different series; "Digital Dogs", "Digital Cats","Classic Companions", "Wild At Heart" and now Emma's "Flower Queen Bunnies" series. So much fun!
