Brodie’s Gift Guide
Brodie’s 2011 ChetArt Holiday Shopping Guide
First, a bit about me:
8 year old rescued male orange tabby
Official ChetArt mascot
Lives with: 2 sentient cat food dispensers and female gray tabby Lily
Hobbies: Extreme sleeping, gecko hunting and watching insurance commercials
As the days grow colder and approach the holiday season, fewer and fewer geckos are to be found. Due to this frustrating lack of hunting opportunities, I grudgingly turn to my duties of gift recommendations from the ChetArt online shop. Here you will find an abundance of gift ideas for every member of the family.
For him:
Choose from a variety of outrageous monkey portraits, flavored both Steampunk and Sinister. If your guy digs the comic books, then consider Chet’s tongue-in-cheek interpretation of Victorian Steampunk superheroes and villains with the Union of Superlative Heroes and Order of Nefarious Villains. My personal favorite?…. Feline Fräulein, Mee-yow! Available as individual portraits, card sets and an awesome, hand bound limited edition book. Also check out his large assortment of Tiki portraits. There’s even a special two-fer listing to brighten up his Tiki bar or man cave.
For her:
The ever expanding series of cats (and dogs) as personalities from the literary, artistic and musical realms is sure to have one of your favorites. With the likes of F. Scott Fetchgerald, Harpurr Lee (mmmmm, mockingbird…), G.R.R. Tolkien, Labrador Dali, Corgi O’Keeffe, Mutt Jagger, Janhiss Joplin and Michael Catson the list keeps going of fun portraits to gift. Chet also has a huge assortment of humorous cat (and dog) portraits as well as a series of Japanese Styled pet portraits. My personal favorite is this portrait of me doing what I do best.
For the kids:
Nothing fills a rainy afternoon or snowy holiday break better than getting lost working on a coloring book. (O.K., maybe sleeping 12 hours is better.) The Monkey Color! coloring book fits the bill for offering a creative challenge alongside simian silliness. For kids and adults alike, the Monkey Memory Match game will both challenge your memory and give you a craving for bananas.
Stocking Stuffers:
Give the affordable gift of trading card sets, each with both a collection of whimsical portraits and funny biographies for each. Cat (and dog) artists, authors and musicians, Steampunk Monkeys, Society of Sinister Simians, World War Monkeys, Superlative Heroes and Nefarious Villains all await to fill the imaginations and force out a chuckle. Trouble holding down your banana peels? Consider the monkey paper weight, created with hand stitched leather.
Books:
Browse through a selection of hand made limited edition books sprinkled throughout almost every section of the shop. With Superlative Heroes/Nefarious Villains, Tikis, Sinister Simians, Wrestle Pets, Mysterious Circumstances and Googie signs, there’s bound to be a perfect gift for the reader. Sadly, no field guides for hunting geckos.
Seasonal Gifts:
Spoiler alert!: The Mayans predict our collective litter boxes will be cleaned for good next year. Why not enjoy a bit of visual fun, displayed on your wall or desk with the Literary Pets wall calendar (4 postcards included!) or the Wrestle Pets and Monkey Business desk calendars. It’s not too late to send those holiday cards out either. Consider the lighthearted and colorful “Penguin Jingle Bell” card pack of 6.

Woodland Wisdom Prints
Some time back we launched our first limited edition book titled “Woodland Wisdom,” a collection of illustrations depicting time-honored Aesop’s fables. I added the slight twist of including my take on the proverbs in the form of haiku poetry. The edition successfully sold out and by recently re-visiting the artwork, decided to release them as individually signed prints.
Posted above is “The Two Goats.”
Dire stubborn stalemate.
A backdrop of deadly height.
Pride creates long fall.
You can find the rest of the series within this section of the online shop.

Kim Keever
Kim Keever utilizes an ingenious method of creating miniature landscapes for his photography. Using a fish tank to set up the environment he then fills with water, adds pigments and uses colored lights to achieve his dream-like results. His style rivals the painterly feel of Romanticism and the Hudson River School with great effect.
Brave
A wee bit of magic from Pixar. See the “Brave” trailer via It’s Art.
Greg Brotherton
The re-purposed constructions of Greg Brotherton are creepy cool.
MichaelO
The artist known as MichaelO takes photo manipulation up a notch with his artful, digital additions.

A sample of ChetArt characters proudly displaying their Movember support.
