This is not my biggest seller, but it is my best seller of cards sold in singles, and this card is “favorited” the most.  I chose it because I think it speaks volumes about what I love to do most as an artist…draw animals and play with words! This is one of my earlier cards added to GCU, so I wish I could remember if there was some interesting story behind why I drew it.  However, it was probably just drawn on a whim.  I really love drawing animals, and adding personality through expressions is always fun for me.  My other love is putting a spin on words so I look for any opportunity to do so!

    Great work. I like it. Just wish I had thought of it first. But tnen I can’t draw, so guess that leaves me out. But do have some old photos of cows and cattle. Now what can I do with them?!

      Hi, Lloyd…don’t feel left out, you certainly don’t need to know how to draw. You can do the same with your photos, just be creative in the words you choose and it can make a great card! Have fun with it!
