This handsome guy is actually a little different from my regular pet portrait subjects. He’s a feral stray cat that hangs around my parents’ house begging for food. Not the friendliest stray I’ve encountered, he goes by the name Harry. I suspect that name was given to him in reference to his long fur (Hairy!).

Despite being pretty skittish, as most feral cats are, Harry deigned to pose nicely for me the last time I visited my parents. And so I created this worshipful masterpiece to properly immortalize his feline magnificence (after all, he’s a cat—that’s how they all think about themselves, right?!).
