Hi! I’m Molly Hodgdon. I live in Vermont with my beautiful FIV+ cats Francie and Marcel. Banner photo by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from my collection mailed 1908.

Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

Only one week left to donate to my fundraiser for our local shelter! This Christmas season has been a little melancholy because I've been missing Fergus, but watching the donation total creep up has really cheered me up a lot. Thank you. 🥰 givebutter.com/n5l31M

Some pieces on kittenhood in the catland republics: a recent poster, some drawings, and a little painting. Thanks for the show. If you like these, please take a look at my Etsy store at
nathannunart.etsy.com
An ink illustration of a plaque or tablet entitled "Socialist Sunday School - Ten Commandments". On either side of the plaque are kittens playing and doing various activities: writing, art, playing ball, and making biscuits (etc.). On each side of the plaque behind the kittens are oak saplings with roots at the bottom and reaching to the top. Among the branches are a number of doves. A large ribbon winds its way up the border as well, meeting at the center top. The main body of text is the 10 commandments some of which are 1. Love your schoolfellows, they will become your fellow workers and companions in life. 2. Love learning, which is the food of the mind; be as grateful to your teacher as to your parents who uphold these commandments. 3. Make every day holy by good and useful deeds and kindly actions. 4. Honour good people, be courteous and respect all, bow down to none (etc.). At the bottom is a "declaration" which reads, "We desire to be just and loving to all our fellow cats, to work together as siblings, to be kind to every living creature, and so help to form a New Society, with Justice as its foundation and Love its law." An ink drawing of a cat reading a book of Sister Grimalkin fiary tales to two kittens. One kitten looks enthusiastically at the book, pointing to a page, and the other has both paws half covering their face in fear. Surrounding the three cats are small images from fairy stories, elf-like cats, giants, wizards, a large castle, etc. An ink drawing of two anthropomorphic cats in 19th century style dress. One excitedly exclaims with their paws in the air while the other intently writes. Surrounding the pair are all kinds of fantasy images from fairy stories including castles, wolves, snakes, castles, etc. At bottom in large black letter font is written "Sisters Grimalkin" A small painting of an older cat gifting a large biscuit to an amazed kitten at the fair. The image is very happy and colourful.

Cats are my favorite subject matter at this point. I have cat stickers and keychains of my art, and handmade cat keychains and cat necklaces.
Here are some of my most popular stickers and a photo of my art table at a market last weekend.

Hello and thanks for the opportunity!

Im Crispy! I mainly do digital art, but also am a fan of traditional mediums

Im open for work currently, but bc Im still learning the process to selling my art online and whats a good price, its moreso case by case. Last pic is an example of a past commission!
Psychedelic digital illustration of angry canines overlapping one another in a spiral-esque pattern. Their teeth are bared, and its almost as if they were crushed into the canvas. Digital illustration of my character, Ret, a cyclops-demon with wings and a forked tail. They are standing in the desert with a sunset in the background. Psychedelic digital illustration of a yellow wolf snarling in a psychedelic purple vortex of smoke. Their red eyes bleed into the smoke. Digital sketch illustration of an anthro Armarouge pokemon character. The hair is strands of pure fire, and their purple eyes burn alight as a flame.

-First piece was for a cat shelter during in the Art Fight.
-Second is a Zoolander reference for a Newgrounds community challenge.
