Old info about the original painting:
I am a member of " Art 4 Critters", a group of artists who donate a portion of their art sales to animal charities. Some members of our group donated paintings for a big charity auction to raise money for Happy Paws Haven Inc, a 501 (C)(3) Nonprofit corporation in Arab, Alabama. This is a "no-kill" animal shelter, they do not euthanise their animals. The artists involved with this project will created small ACEO size (2.5" x 3.5") paintings of 'big cats' for this event. This is the painting I donated for the auction.

UPDATES:

The auction has ended, and we raised $1,182.99 for Happy Paws! This the biggest charity ACEO auction ever held.

Several newspapers have written about this record-breaking auction. I don't have copies of all the articles (yet) But here is one from the Colorado Daily Newspaper: Pg.1 [link] Pg.2 [link]

Ocelot: What's that you say? There's a human pretending to be one of us? And he's carrying totally impractical weapons?

Charity: giving to people who desrve it?
you deserve this money, how dare you help other people who haven't contributed to this crazy good piece of mega art . I demand you take some of that money and by yourself a Porshe.
Well done, it rocks and i am only half-joking about the charity thing

katat0nik In reply to IdentityParadox [2006-10-20 11:43:26 +0000 UTC]

This is one painting I will never make money off of

I'm poor, so it's really, really sad when people look at me and think I'm rich. So I'm using this painting to help those that are less fortunate....although it would be nice to be able to afford a Porsche

katat0nik In reply to TinorialPeredhil [2006-09-30 21:26:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh It's because I sold the original painting in a charity auction, and had been writing in my journal about it before it was sold, then after it sold I changed the title lol. I am gonna change it to the real title now
