A brief background of myself and Dot!Ink (formerly Barkenmeow):
���� I have been drawing for over 20 yrs.� My style mainly involves pen and ink, with emphasis in stippling and occasionally dabbling in hatching/cross hatching.�I also work with pencil and colored pencil.�
�� � My main focus is on animals, often focusing on those who had been rescues, as well as family pets.� I've recently donated my portraiture�services to help local�animal rescues (including Ohio Pet Placement and Cosmo's Buddies) in misc. fundraisers.�There are additional plans which involve lending my artistic abilities to area rescues as needed for events and fundraisers.
���� The original business name Barkenmeow started out as a name for a bakery for pets.� In America, that sort of business is QUITE popular!� Baking has always been another creative outlet for me, and being an animal lover this seemed like a fun thing to persue.� However, over time, even though I still bake special things for�rescue events,�I have shifted the focus professionally �to art, not food.� And it is fairing much better!���In 2013, the name got changed to Dot!Ink, given the focus expanded slightly past animals.
�� � My short term goal is to dive deeper into freelance art/illustration. My long term goal�for�Dot!Ink is to eventually open a small shop possibly centered around the portraiture concept.�In addition to commissioned portraits, Dot!Ink would also specialize in animal themed greeting cards, custom designed greeting cards, prints, etc.�
