Daniela from CT is SO happy about her Cat Harp. Strange gal, isn't she? Almost as strange as me drawing a cat harp...

Kitty Kat



I think Molly from Scotland and the kitty goes together very well!

Jasmine from CA was down in the dumps, but I hope my drawing did enough to look into the future just a bit more smilier.

Minor update

Since the audience has grown, I feel that I should update more often on what's been going on behind the scenes.

The number of requests has currently reached 300 and with a few new requests coming in everyday. This is just fantastical news for you, me, and the balance of the world. I now vow to send out at least 5 drawings everyday. I don't doubt that there will be days where I don't have much choice on the matter, but I'll try my best!

I also need everyone to try their best to send in their pictures! Without your wonderful smiling photos with the drawings, this project would never be what it is today. The community is what holds the project together and make newcomers smile.

We have also broke the 100 mark for drawings sent! Cawngwats on that, folks.

Remember, questions are still accepted for the Curious Curiosity section, so don't hesitate to try to pry me open!

Giganormous thanks to those who donated!

Surprise attack! (The good kind)

Hello, boys and girls, ladies and gents.
When I came home today, took a nice shower and ate some food, I flipped open my laptop and went straight to my inbox like usual. Lo to my surprise, I was greeted with 145 new e-mails! All of the e-mails were requests for a drawing to help them smile and get them through the days ahead. I haven't gone through all of them yet because I am currently reading through them, with more requests coming in as I progress!

This is just great news and at first, I was overwhelmed, but then my heart was a-flutter. Even so, I am dedicated to this project and will go through with my promise. Just a few disclaimers though!

Please allow time for me to go through each request, as each drawing does take time. As always, I will continue with the earliest requests first and make my way up to the more recent ones. I can't say when I will finish each one or when you will get yours since this has never happened before. Also, take into consideration that I have other responsibilities to attend to besides this project (like other projects!). So please, I ask of everyone to be patient and don't worry about not getting a drawing. :)

One last thing. I'd rather not ask of you guys to do this, but I'm not exactly a completely successful guy that relaxes in his giant underground pool behind my ginormous shack. If you can donate any amount of money, I would be ever so grateful. It doesn't cost much to send out letters, but with so many requests all of a sudden, the amount really adds up. A small amount can actually help me send out a couple of letters already!

Anyway, thanks everyone, and I really appreciate the comments and words of encouragement in your e-mails. :)

Special thanks goes out to Hamid who has been great help and supported me from the beginning!
