Laurie Hardin: Marcelo Moon

Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

My goodness, someone slow down the clock, please!! I can't believe it is July 7th, and it is time to update pieces on PFATT Marketplace for their unveiling on July 10. I have just sent in my update for the month and I will have one offering, Marcelo Moon, seen below. UPDATE...Marcelo is SOLD. Thank you!!

Marcelo is a little celestial being that is in love with Halloween...so much so that he descends from the skies to trick or treat for goodies on Halloween night. He always comes in costume, including his celestial top hat, shorts and boots, plus carrying his favorite treat bucket that has a portrait of himself in his youth on the front.

He is painted in gold and orange hues (except for his green eyes) so his color will fit in nicely with any Halloween collection. He will come signed, dated and numbered and is a one-of-a-kind original from my studio.

This piece will be released for sale on Sunday, July 10, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time, on PFATT Marketplace: http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/monkeycats.html

Hope you like him!!

Laurie

Marcelo is wonderful! I love that you did him in soft yellows! And such a great idea to use a portrait of him as a youngun on his bucket!
What a sweet face!
