See all the “Okey’ October” artworks!
"Studio Cat" Drawing by BZTAT
“Cat fur is mixed media in my world.” ~ BZTAT
Truthfully, my studio is out of reach of my cats. That doesn’t stop the fur from getting in it. It follows me wherever I go.
Sometimes I like to do drawings that are basically void of color. As much as I enjoy color, I also enjoy playing with light and dark contrast. This was a fun piece to do. It is based on a painting that I did a couple of years ago. The painting is for sale if you are interested.
In honor of my cat Okey whose “Gotcha Day” is October 30, I am making an artwork every day in October, and posting it here on my blog. As I have done with “drawing a day” activities in the past, each artwork will be available for bidding in an auction in the blog post dedicated to it.
Along with each artwork will be a “Thought for the Day” that will offer some kind of encouragement about overcoming challenges.
Okey has inspired a worldwide movement to bring awareness to the links between animal abuse, child abuse and domestic violence called: Okey’s Promise: Art for a Cause. All of the proceeds for the auctions will go towards the Okey’s Promise: Celebrating the Human – Animal Bond project, which is my second Okey’s Promise public art project.
My recent Kickstarter fund raising campaign for the project fell short of its goal, so I have had to start over with the fund raising. You can contribute here if you would like to support the project outside of the auctions.
To make it a little more fun, I am going to have a special contest! Everyone who bids on one of the Okey’s October artworks here on the blog will be entered into a contest for a free artwork! You don’t have to win a bid, just make a bid. All bidders will be entered into a random drawing for a special artwork at the end of the month.
