Del Mar Art Show Update

Well... as expected people were a little tight with the $$$ this weekend! (Of course they should have been buying cat art!!)

Sold a lot of Cat Dracula t-shirts, Cat aprons, and quite a few prints too, so I was happy. The crowds were a little down so I thought I would be able to get some drawing done in between. I started a piece twice, and tore it up twice.. so no new finished piece to post this week.

Here are two of the sketches I was working on.. may get one of these done before the Pomona show at the end of November. Not sure which one I prefer. Ron likes the one on the bottom because the cat in the middle looks grumpy!

Just returned from the Long Beach Harvest Festival. Had a horrible head cold at the beginning of the show but the customers and other vendors were so nice, it made the weekend go quickly. Here's the new cat art piece which I worked on during the show I had been wanting to do for some time. To see the sketch, visit the work in progress on my website at www.bigcatdesigns.com.


Hope to see you all at the Del Mar Show Oct 24-26th! Stop by and say Hi! (they have the best food there too!.. visit the Singing Pig booth for fantastic apple pie butter)

Meow for Now.. The Big Cat

September 15 - Getting ready for next art show

09/15/08 - Finished the first Harvest Festival last Sunday. It was a really great show! The promoters did a fantastic job of bringing in customers, even in 108 degree heat!

All of my little felted cats found a great home, and the new t-shirt line did fantastic! My new And Another... t-shirt outsold them all. If you have not done so, take a moment to visit the Big Cat Store and see the new designs. I will be adding quite a few more over the next few weeks.

If was really great to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. I have so many customers who are rescuing cats from kill shelters and abandonment. They have such big hearts.

Am working on some new figurine cats, each one will be handcrafted. I hope to preview them at the Ventura Harvest Festival the first weekend in October.
