Cats for Maya

"Cats for Maya" is an obviously atypical drawing for me as those of you familiar with my "career" can attest. It's not for sale. Although I've been ridiculously late with my rent for years and am currently being evicted, the building manager and his wife have always been kind, friendly, understanding, and just as nice as people can be to a relative stranger.

Two years back they had a little girl, Maya, who even at her age seems just as sweet as her parents (and I've known some dreadful 2 year-olds). I had planned on giving this piece to her for Christmas, but it would be awkward were I no longer living here. So, I decided to do it now.

It's cute. I used over 300 different colors to get the effect I wanted. I'd like to get it framed before I give it to them as I don't want to incur an extra expense for them or have me fretting about it getting damaged before it gets behind protective material. Plus, I want to get it framed so it can be hung either way with her potentially changing choice of cat at the top. Kids like interactive stuff. So if any of you guys out there would like to help defray the cost of the framing ($60-$80 — I guess... something simple, she's very young), let me know and I can direct you to a “donate” button on my website.
