Early on in my napkin drawings I started adding in our pets.  We had a dog and cat, and now we have 2 dogs and a cat.  They are recurring characters.  We also had a snake, a turtle and lots of pet rats when my daughters were growing up. They make appearances as well.

I use animals as the voice of wisdom often. They are immune from the stupidity of society and humanity so they are a great objective reporter of our homo sapien pressures.  

Here is a collection of animal drawings from 1998 to 2014.
