How long have you been creating?

In Dog Years it would be about 193 years now of creating. And, were I a cat, I would be 7 years old and would have been creating the entire time, except during the napping parts. But age, or years, is not what is really important. What are important is a healthy diet, exercise and not too many treats.

What's your media of choice?

Being particularly lazy and fond of naps, I am indebted to pen and ink; simple, quick, and easy. Uncapping the pen I am off to the Land of Imagination, which is a lot like a Bark Park, but far less a chance of picking up ringworm.

What, besides your art, brings you creative fulfillment?

I think I’ve mentioned the naps.

What are your motivations for creating?

The desire to create, the motivation to create is all instinct. It is like the call of the wild, a base primal desire, the kind of drive that propels you to chase and “get” the vacuum cleaner.

What other artists or movements inform your work?

That is a complex question. Let’s break it down in parts. Small little parts, like the small, little chewed parts of a slipper or shoe on the carpet. However, at best, I am largely uninformed.

How do you know when a piece you're working on is done?

I’m never really done with the artwork. I like coming back to it, chew some things over and over again and then hide it behind the couch or bury it in the yard again.

What do you find stimulating right now? How does this influence your creative process?

Truth be told, it is chocolate. Chocolate is a great natural stimulate but cocoa contains theobromine which is lethal to our furry friends.

What brought you to EBSQ?

The internet. The internet highway is full of wonderful sites. I encourage people who have not heard of the internet to give it a try.

What are some of your artistic goals for the future?

As with all goals, you can not just sit on the sideline. You have to be out on the field, chasing the ball, bringing it back and then chasing it again.

What would you like your fellow EBSQ artists and our collectors to know about you and/or your work?

I never take anything serious. Serious is only for mugshots. I should also mention that one like my self who is incapable of focus or has a very limited attention can easily be distracted by watching Animal Planet while trying to type answers for this questionnaire. I leave you now to take a nap.
