Apologies for being so far behind (2 months!) on animals. Trying to juggle working full time, apartment searching in nyc, somewhat of a social life and art has been tougher than I thought to say the least. Because I’m so far behind I’ve decided to stop drawing daily kittens, they’ve become more of an afterthought to the animal and well…365 kittens is well, a lot of kittens. I will slowly but surely catch up on all these animals, it is called 365 days of animals after all.

Expect to see lots of more animals very soon!
