HELLO!

My name is Pam Boutilier. I also readily answer to 'Boots' or 'El Capitan'.
My art business is called 'Cat in a Box Studio' but the main project of the business is the creation of the ZOOPOTHECARY,
WELCOME to my Patreon page!

I assume you are here because you like my art,
well buckle up and settle in because on this page you'll get to see
ALL OF THE ART.

I created this page because I got sick and tired of trying to curate my content on some sites to attract art directors and publishers, keeping my fine art and pet portraits separate and directed at people who might want a commission. I was spending way too much time trying to figure out who wants what, while also holding back art that might 'dilute' my message or style.
The more great advice I tried to follow the more constrained I felt
and it all led to me shouting (to the cat)
"I JUST WANT TO MAKE ART AND SHARE IT!!"

So this site was born.

WHAT THE HECK WILL I FIND HERE?
The kind of art you will find here will be General Audience friendly
(I'm not averse to art-nudity, but I won't post it here).

My main areas of work are currently:
WHIMSICAL CHARACTERS
FANTASY/MAGIC
DIGITAL ART
SCRATCHBOARD ART
and also sometimes....
CONVENTION BOOTHING
VERY RUDIMENTARY ANIMATION
TIMELAPSE RECORDINGS ('speedpainting') OF ART CREATION
PET PORTRAITS (cats, dogs, horses)
ANIMAL ART (scratchboard and digital)
CHILDREN'S BOOK ART (digital)
WILDLIFE (occasionally)
STILL LIFE (occasionally)

I have two goals with this Patreon page:
1) To build a community of people who appreciate my work. To support this I am offering all of my content FREE to everyone and asking only that you 'FOLLOW' me so I can get a sense of how many people are watching (and get feedback from my fans).

2) To generate some income. I am doing art for a living now, so I hope that those who have both means and inclination will subscribe financially will do so. Check out my subscriber reward tiers to see what kind of goodies you can get (from postcards to custom digital illustrations).

THANK YOU FOR COMING BY!!
