Cats

I married a cat lady. Which wouldn't be so bad, except I'm allergic to most cats. I like them, but my immune system does not. I illustrated "Max" as an homage for my wife's favorite that passed a few years ago. "Outcats" is a logo for her YouTube cha el that features felines at the Furkids shelter that are perhaps unconventional--and, therefore, being passed over for adoption--but deserve love and a forever home, too.
