Ethyl Enjoying a Good Book
The Beginning of the Literary Animal...
It all started with my cat Ethyl, the best cat in the world! I photographed Ethyl all the time and one day I had the book "Of Mice and Men" sitting on a table and I thought it would be funny for a cat to read it. Ethyl obliged me (and loved the book by the way). After that I wondered "What would a dog read?" And then I had more ideas, and then more...
As an artist I am incredibly grateful to all the amazing animals I meet. They give me the opportunity to see my vision become a reality. This is the most fun I have ever had creating art. I am ecstatic to have found a way to combine my love of books, animals and humor into my art.
Please note: All of the photographs feature real animals and real books. No photo manipulation, no AI—just animals caught in wonderfully unexpected moments with books.
A glimpse into the collection—please see below a few of the photographs that bring these stories to life.
