What is Art for a Cause?

Since the start of 2014, I have been donating 15% of my revenue to local charities. I am currently supporting FareStart which I have also volunteered a number of hours with. FareStart is providing a solution to homelessness, joblessness, poverty, and hunger. They teach culinary skills to the homeless and disadvantaged as well as providing assistance in all other areas necessary to succeed in finding employment. 

Have a suggestion for a charity I should support? Drop me a line!

Finally had the chance to get back to this piece. Think I might be done with it. Can’t decide what the light source is that’s hitting his face so don’t want to put stronger shading in. . . . . . . . #catart #cats #catsinspace #drawing #space #stars #coloredpencils #fabercastell #polychromos #seattleartist #tabby #hisnameisoz #animals #animalart #art #artwork
It’s been fun, Chicago! Sadly, at this rate it’ll take upwards of 10 years to fill this sketchbook. Gonna have to work on that! . . . . #chicago #thebean #clouddistrict #moleskine #sketch #sketchbook #pendrawing #sketchbookmagazine
Probably the last update on this piece for a bit as I’ll be out of town for a little while. Finishing up the background now before giving Oz his final details. . . . . . #art #catart #seattleartist #wip #fabercastell #polychromos
Another... 6 hours today? Shading... uggh, so important but so difficult . . . . . #art #catart #seattleartist #wip #fabercastell #polychromos
It occurs to me I’ve never tried for the level of realism I’m attempting with this piece. I don’t really know what I’m doing! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙀
