Best in Show!

Merriment and dancing have commenced here at the studio! Congrats to Lindsey! Her entry, The Princess and the Pea, was awarded "Best in Show" at the Southern Illinois Art League's Spring competition. And yes, there IS a pea at the bottom of those pillows! Our resident Master Photographer, Craftsman, CPP, Assoc. Fellow is truly talented and has mad camera skills. Sure, we're prejudiced, but she certainly proves her photographic abilities time and time again! Lindsey, you rock!

Thanks to our princess-model, Zoe, and her companion, Sylvia Sharockman.

Love Your Pet!

Thanks to our model, Leo Valentine, and his companions, Natalie and Marc Luther.


This is the 7th annual Love Your Pet Day (always held on the 20th of Feb.). It is fitting that it follows closely after Valentine's Day. After all, our furry friends do love us unconditionally. It's a good idea for pet owners to celebrate Love Your Pet Day by doing something special. Pamper your best friend with a new toy or let go of a daily task to give your pet some extra time today. Clean the fish aquarium, hamster, or rabbit cage. Don't forget the many potential pets that wait patiently in rescue shelters. If you don't have a pet this would be a good opportunity to visit your local shelter and perhaps see if a very special companion has been waiting for you. Don't forget that donations of food and litter are always appreciated.
