I used to do pencil drawings. I can say from experience, this guy’s talent and skill is beyond incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it.

She is beautiful.

We’re in New Jersey, there doesn’t seem to be any near here, at least right now.

I’ll keep checking back.

Thanks again!

Did the guy in your drawing class produce the photo-like drawings in class or did he bring them in finished?

No NEA grant for him!

Why not? He's producing the 'Obama Dolls' that he saw elsewhere on the interwebs...

I have cats from Siamese Rescue (note tagline)...e-mail them and let them know your situation...they MAY have a kitty in the NJ area, but may be lacking a ‘foster mother’ in that area to facilitate the adoption. They also have a ‘transport service’, but once again, not sure if they could cover your area. It NEVER hurts to ask...

Pickachu? She's better off as a 'Lilly'...I find that most SR cats undergo a 'name change' right after adoption. :-)

I have two others that I saved from the 'Green Mile' at the last minute...beautiful Red Points that were stunning...also hard to believe such beautiful animals could be dumped at a shelter.

Thank you for posting, Mr. Lung does incredible work. It is obvious that he loves his subjects.

My Ragdoll Jasper was sitting on my lap as I scrolled through the gallery. He wanted the "other kitties" to come out and play!

Lilly is still (after almost 5 yeas) a real skittish cat. It takes her 30 minutes to decide if it’s safe to do something. Throughout the house, she won’t walk over door thresholds - she has to jump over them. She’s also still tiny - only about 9 lbs., and with a 15 lb. big brother, well...She loves her Dad though.

Might as well get used to it...one of mine is just about ten, and he is still a 'nervous Nellie'...chirps like a bird instead of meowing like a cat.

The classes were three hours long. He could produce something like this during that time, and usually less than three hours.
