Mastodon friends and followers, It’s been a while. A few years ago, the wife of a dear friend commissioned me to draw their sphinx cat. Normally I would have said NO to this. I don’t do animal portraits and rarely take commissions. My piece has finally been framed and I could not be happier. #scastio #artist #draughtsman #storyteller #picturemaker #penandink #drawing #animals #blackandwhite #ink #traditionalart #artistonmastodon #art

A few years ago, the wife of a dear friend contacted me about a commission. I don’t do commissions and I don’t do animal portraits but I was willing to make an exception. I’m glad I did — I ended up doing one of the best drawings I’ve ever done. Happy #caterday. #scastio #artist #storyteller #draughtsman #picturemaker #drawing #penandink #catsofmastodon #art #sphnix #saturday
