Artist Statement:
DeerCat & Friends™ was originally created just for myself as an artist, to find comfort in my own creations outside of commercial work. Little did I know that DeerCat and Friends™ would resonate with so many people. DeerCat & Friends™ has since become an embodiment of the simple happiness in daily life and living each day to the fullest with no regrets. I hope these characters also help everyone develop a sense of wonder and respect for all living things and nature. I have big hopes and dreams for the future of DeerCat & Friends™. I invite every adult and kid alike to join our cozy little world. Leave the burdens of today at the door for just a minute. Life is already hard enough as it is, come take a little coffee break with us and relax a little.
Artist Bio:
