About the Painted Pet Store
The Animal Artworks in our Pet Store are all mixed breeds. Some Pop, some Surrealism, some Folk and many other art forms influenced me! It's always been my opinion that, like animals, often "art mutts" are generally smarter, healthier, and more interesting than "name" or purebred art, simply because nature is more in control.
Here's for an elimination of Visual Art Eugenics! Some galleries may prefer a picture-perfect, purebred product, but, sadly, that makes for a less healthy art scene, and the art scene is the gene pool of future generations of art.
Similarly, all of my real cats are mixed breeds and strays. I consider myself their guardian and friend, not their owner or master. There's some good info on animal rights out there. A couple of beginning links are:
Doris Day Animal League
and
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
