When I first came across Jit Gurung, he was at his desk working on a pile of illustrations. He is a serious artist who I sometimes compare to R. Crumb. Jit works in Pokhara, a resort town centered around a large
lake in Nepal. I found him by admiring a beauty shop sign featuring a clear portrait of Angelina Jolie and asking around about the artist.
He does wonderfully accurate portraits of people. One of my favorite artists.

Folk Art from the Himalayas.
This trip has been more Danger Cats than Danger Dogs and the artists have had a field day with these pretty kitties.
Dilip Niroj has a strong folk art take on the lovely Rico, adding a green background in place of Rico's blanket.
Rico gets a bright red circle from Sanjib Rana, a popular Nepali technique.
Sagar pulled out all the stops and added a golden background with some birds that would be certain to entertain Perfect Rico.
Iris shines in her portrait by Dilip Niroj, who places the lovely black cat in her ornate basket.
Sanjib Rana also incorporates Iris' fancy basket, giving Iris her chance to glow.
Sagar Bitsa decided to let Iris shine on her own, giving her a yellow background that shows off her glossy black fur.
Dilip's version of Rosie is strikingly bright and pretty.
Megh Raj's Rosie is sweet and young. He also chose a butter yellow background.
Danny the Wild Cat by Dilip -
Sanjib had fun with Danny's background.
Megh Raj captured Danny's ginger fur the best.

To order, please send me a photo of your pet. I will give it to three different artists, giving you a choice of paintings and three artists will get work. Each painting is about one square foot and is on metal with enamel paint. These can be hung indoors or out, be framed or unframed.
Satisfaction is guaranteed as I accept no money up front. If you do not like one of the three, you pay nothing, and the 3 artists are paid in full in any case. Let me know what you want it to say and that's it!
