I'm on Zazzle's Front Page!


I'm so excited! My Sad Rat I Miss You Card, has been selected as one of Today's Best on Zazzle! http://tinyurl.com/nv2883

I based the card on my drawing of 'Sad Surfer'. I have been adding to my Zazzle store a little bit everyday.

I will be drawing up some more ACEOs today, not sure what the ratties will be doing yet, but I'm sure I will think of something.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Summer's almost over and I designed a shoe



Hard to believe that summer is almost over. It wasn't too awful, just a few days of way too much heat and humidity. And if it weren't for the humidity in NJ the heat wouldn't be all that bad.

I've been adding things to my Zazzle shop. I even designed a pair of Keds Shoes using my ACEO called 'Rattie Reunion' and I think it turned out cute. It has to be approved before it will show up in my shop but here is a sneak preview. I would love to know how these places can print up all these items one at a time. It's amazing.



I am one of those who doesn't like the rushing of the seasons but am guilty of it with my Halloween items in Zazzle. It's just that I usually don't start gearing up until it's too late, so I thought I would get a jump on it this year and see how that works out.

Well, I'm off, thanks for stopping by!

CafePress and Zazzle

I have been looking at CafePress and Zazzle for a while now and have finally tried them. You can visit them via the links below. I will be adding to them in the coming weeks.
KMCoriginals on CafePress or KMCoriginals Zazzle store.

My newest eBay ratties are enjoying the beach. One is drying off after a good swim and the other is eating dinner hoping a later start will help him to miss some traffic on the way home.



I have finished my Lee Child book, Gone Tomorrow, if you'd like a good read check it out. I am on such a Jack Reacher binge. (He's the character in the book). I have two more to read then I will be all caught up with his adventures.

Have a great day!

Nibblefest aka NFAC


This is my art for NFAC this month. In case you're not familiar with Nibblefest it is a themed monthly contest on eBay and starts the 20th of every month and auctions start at 99¢. This month the theme is Trees & Rivers.

Trees have never been my strong point artistically so I just concentrated on the trunk, based on a tree in my backyard, and added a few bits of swamp grass, a frog and of course the river and a rat.

The thing I like about NFAC and the ACEO theme week is that it get's me to do things I normally wouldn't do. I almost didn't do this theme due to the tree and it's just so freaking hot I could barely think but I am glad I made myself do something.

Hope you manage to stay cool today.

More Beach Rats

A couple of rats doing what they can to beat the heat. Most of the summer was ok but lately it has been brutal.



Hope you manage to stay cool!

The weather by me has been so hot lately I can't even think. It's driving me crazy. Most people who like summer only like it because they go from their air conditioned house to their air conditioned car to their air conditioned job and they are never really getting the full benefit of the heat and humidity.

Ok, enough of my bitching, but I just had to say it. On to my art. My ratties are enjoying their time at the beach or the shore to us Jerseyans.




In my next post I will put up my other new art including my Nibblefest ACEO.

I am now going back to my book, I am on a binge reading the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child. I've read a few over the years and now am reading all the ones I missed. I like to read books in order but these don't 'have' to be. I am now reading his newest one Gone Tomorrow and it is soooo good. If you like to read check him out. His website is here.

Give Peas a Chance


What could be more refreshing to a young rat than a nice pea covered ice cream cone? Don't knock it till you try it.

Another week has flown by and it's been a newsy week for me, heard from my nephew in Mali, it's his birthday tomorrow, my moms is Sunday and a good friend of mine has moved back to NJ.

Oh well, off to get some more ACEOs drawn. I have one started of a rat playing with a beach ball in the ocean.

Hope you have a great weekend.
