More Blogs by L. A. Berry (AKA the Big Cat)

I have been posting art recently on a really cool site called DeviantArt.  There are some terrific artists on this site and its great to have a place to get feedback.  I have been posting a lot of art that I have previously sold, or that are sketches in progress.  Also, I have been adding some additional information about the different artwork posted.  Stop by and have a look at some fun stuff!

Stuff I like

Cool, unique stuff.  All quality tested by the Big Cat.

Oink oink!Singing Pig Food Company.  No, not pork, but the best Pumpkin Pie Butter, Apple Pie Butter, Cherry Pie Butter (MMMM), dip mixes and more.  Treat yourself!

 

 

Summerfield Candles.  These beeswax beauties are such great gifts, but you probably wont want to give them away.  They burn forever without dripping all over.  The twisted ones burn in really cool spirals.  They are all handmade from 100% beeswax by my friend Mitch's own little hands.  There are a lot to choose from for pretty much any holiday or occasion you can imagine.  Tell him the Big Cat sent you!

 

 


Fun Cat Stuff

A Purrfect DayWhite Willow Stitching - a great place to get hard to find cross stitch patterns including many by
L. A. Berry (Big Cat Designs). White Willow also has some great fantasy patterns!

 

 

 

 

CutewithChris.com - Very hard to describe!  Chris Levins brings a weekly video featuring pictures from viewers of their pets. He has a "Cute Down" where viewers get to vote on which pet is cuter and are given the results during the next show. That is where the normality ends.  Chris Leavins' dry sense of humor and fantastic comic timing has brought him a huge cult following. His sometimes PG humor can take you by surprise. And you get plastic horses  A nice way to spend a few minutes a week.

Cat Face 8 Cat Face - by Weebl.  Cat Face is a serial cartoon by the guys who brought you Weebl and Bob (which is also hilarious).  Cat Face speaks in a French accent has a giant head with a tiny body.  Episode two is probably my favorite, where he "adopts" and old lady by rubbing up against her. For cat people this is "laugh out loud" stuff.


Other Artists:

RennerSafaris.com - Paul Renner shows and sells pictures from his amazing Safari's to Africa. He takes amateur and professional photographers alike on spectacular photo safari's several times a year.  Visit his website and take a look at his newsletters.  Many pictures from his photo safari groups are shown throughout.

 

RuthBaslerBurr.com - Ruth Basler Burr is one of California's well known and skilled oil and watercolor painters. Her subjects include beautiful floral scenery and landscapes. She has wonderful one-woman shows throughout the year.

 

OceanMindedOils.com - Katie Lindley has a wonderful talent and spirit.  Her painting export you to quiet places with lots of time for reflection.  Her Yellow Dog paintings are two of my favorites.

 

JMCFineArt.com - Jeffrey Cornia brings you indigenous people and pop icons in bigger than life sizes.  His colors pop from the artwork and his detail is fantastic.  He also does excellent commissions.

 

 

 


Vintage Art:

InStoneInc.com - When you hear the words Cigar Labels, you think of stodgy old smokers but it can't be further from the truth.  Cigar Labels are some of the most highly collectible and rare vintage artworks available.  They cover every subject matter and take a walk through American History. War, Old West, Animals, Humor, these are just a few of the subjects covered in Cigar Label Art.
