FAB celebrates its 50th anniversary with a new book.

The Feline Advisory Bureau is a charity dedicated to promoting the health and welfare of cats. This year is their 50th anniversary and among the celebrations FAB are launching a new book Essential Cattitude: an insight into the feline world. To illustrate the book FAB asked cat loving artists and celebrities to contribute pictures of their favourite felines and I donated 'The Boss' a painting of Cassie to the cause.

The Boss

The book was launched at The Groucho Club in London in February 2008. You can find out much more about Essential Cattitude: An Insight Into The Feline World and even buy a copy on FAB's web site www.fabcats.org

The Llewellyn Alexander Gallery Prize

Lick Me!

The private view for the Society Of Feline Artists London show went very well and it was wonderful to meet so many peole there despite the tube strike. I was amazed and thrilled to win the Llewellyn Alexander Award this year for the painting Lick Me! Thank you to the gallery for choosing ‘Lick me!’ and thank you to my model Chi for posing for the picture. He ate a LOT of cream that day and managed not to be sick.
