Ollie’s story is coming soon and I can’t wait to share! I have been quite busy in the last few years running my art workshops and although they are fun and super fulfilling, I realize I haven’t been able to devote a lot of time to personal art. When I do find small pockets of time for myself, I am drawing my cat Ollie.
Ollie is a domestic shorthair tuxedo cat and I adopted him from a shelter after my mom had passed away. He has been the sweetest addition to our family and has provided me with unprecedented levels of love and healing. Ollie has also provided the emotional support and positive energy needed for me to continue my art. This little precious boy even sits next to me whenever I am drawing and I love that he encourages me to just be. So, it makes sense that he has also become my muse. After a few iterations, the cartoon character of Ollie is born.

Current Lineup of Ollie Stickers
His little universe of merchandise is slowly growing. II have started creating art prints,
custom stickers, and magnets—all of which will be available in my shop soon. Thank you to everyone that has requested Ollie products and for your patience, by the way! As much as I would love to load up the shop with Ollie goodies ASAP, I am taking the slow and sometimes painful route of testing out various vendors for quality before deciding who to work with. It is a long process but necessary if I want to create a legacy for Ollie. After all, Ollie deserves to be represented in the best way!
I can’t wait to share more of his story and the art that has resulted from our bond over the years. Check back soon!
P.S. For the stickers and magnets, I find that Sticker Mule has been great in providing consistent quality, great customer service, and quick turnaround. You can customize your own artwork here!
