Frequently Asked Questions

What do you use to draw?
I use a variety of mediums. I use traditional supplies, such as pencil, charcoal, pen, and paint, and digital supplies, as well.

How do you draw?
Well, I can't really explain that... I just pick up whatever I'm using and... just, draw.

How/where did you learn to draw?
I didn't "learn" how to draw... I've been drawing all my life... I've never taken any art classes, other than the electives offered at school.

What program do you use for digital art?
Well, my earliest works were made in either Micrografx, or MS Paint, but weren't all that great. The graphics you mainly see were made in Corel Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9. It's like a mini-version of Adobe Photoshop.

Why is it that some services are crossed off the list in the "Order" part of the site?
Because I'm not currently offering them. This is either due to time, or I may not have the materials. As I've said, I'm more into computerized art at the moment.

Is there a way to be put on some kind of waiting list, so when you do open up those services I don't have to wait?
Well, I don't currently have a waiting list, but I may consider it.

So you like dogs?
Yes, I do. It is my goal to draw a pictures for every breed of dog. (note- "breed" does not mean these mutts such as "cockapoos" and "puggles"!)

Why is it that some breeds have more pictures than others?
Either because I really like that breed (such as the Dalmatian), or that breed has a lot of color variations.

Wait- so you're a vegetarian?
yes.

Hey, will you do a graphic for me?
Depends. I'm up for computer graphics, or quick little pencil/colored pencil sketches, but it'll most likely cost you.

So, how exactly, may I use the art I bought from you?
You may use it on other websites, for personal uses, but you may not remove the signature, edit it, or claim you made it.

Why "Paw Prints"?
Because I couldn't think of a name, so I posted a bulletin many months ago from my dog's myspace asking for suggestions. "Paw Prints" was suggested a couple times, so I decided "why not?"

Well, why isn't the website "pawprints.com" then, or something?
because "Pawprints.com" and all other similar domain names were taken.

If I email you, asking a question, are you going to post it up here?
it's possible.

Why is it when I click on the link "Pippin" the site looks a bit different?
It's Pippin's part of the site.
