Quick FAQ:
"How many rats do you have?"
=ghostlove and myself currently share a home with three rats.

"Can I use this image for [purpose]?"
I get asked this quite a lot too. Some don't even ask. My images are not stock and should not be treated as such. You may not use my images for manipulations and you may not submit my images to any other site. You may however use any of my images as a reference to a drawing or painting. Please send me a note if you use my images for reference.

"Where are your cats?"
My two cats, Baltsar and Mizzie, currently live with my sister in Norway.

She looks exactly like the pet rat I had when I was little-- her name was Pedo. This picture is beautiful, and thank you for bringing back fond memories. :)
