So this guy asks me to draw his cat.  I'm a dog person, so I'm a bit reluctant.   He pleads, he insists, but I turn him down.  What do I know about cats, right?  Then he gets out his checkbook, and suddenly, I'm a cat expert.

Well, I guess I'll draw almost anything for the right price, and here's a few clients who will attest to that:  Rand McNally, Hunt Petroleum, Scholastic Inc., Hershey Foods, the Monterey Bay Blues Festival, Stanford Business Magazine, Armstrong World Industries, Tootsie, GH Bass & Co., and a boatload of ad agencies.
