WTG Kat! i am so glad that this new venture is going so well! Its amazing what we can do with a little creativity!!! I will also love a Katoon sometime, but no rush...as I need to get that perfect picture first.

I've already emailed you to add me to your list. I would like all three of my babies done, sometime. BUT, you can put me DEAD LAST on your list...no hurry. Ten dollars for one malt drawing is not enough, imo, so, I will pay you more for each of my furbabies. If it takes 2 yrs, I don't care. Please, don't work too hard and enjoy life and your babies. You need time to pamper yourself and just relax, too. Love you, Kat!! ♥

Thank you sweet Sue ... TylerToon is 80% complete. I just need to start coloring the background. I said that I will draw him before coming up with this idea, so KatToon is a gift.
Kat - thanks so much. Take your time. I know you're busy. And thank you so much for offering it as a gift but I really want to pay for it. Hey just think you can frame my payment and say "This was the first money I made as a professional artist." And I can say, "I knew her when." I also think $10 is :wub:too little for your drawing. I think you have to think of the time it takes you to do it...hourly and figure that out. It doesn't have to be ridiculously high but you should be compensated for your time. Also I was thinking you'd want to make sure that you copyright or probably trademark your name of KatToons. Not sure how you do it, check with Alice or Erin I guess. Oops as I'm doing this I googled kattoon and see there's one that already exists.:w00t: She doesn't capitalize the second T and I don't know whether she has a trademark. So check that out and if she doesn't have one, file for one. Otherwise might have to be Flufftoons or something.
I also know you are worried about your lack of formal art background and thus value of your work. When I buy a piece of art or craft that I like, I don't grill people about their formal education in it or how long they've been doing it. I just appreciate their talent. Period.
Anywho, just my thoughts. We all feel like your proud Aunties here for sure.

Thanks Suzi :grouphug: I drew my first other than a maltese KatToon (a soft coated Wheaton Terrier - a very adorable one with cute personality from what I read about:wub I am waiting for his mommy to approve if I can share the real picture that I looked at when I drew here before I share the KatToon itself

hugs
Kat

presenting my very first other than a maltese KatToon.....

I haven't taken any payments yet. I only have a list of fluffs to draw from owners requesting a KatToon. I drew few of them (and had a BLAST), but haven't sent out any for sale yet. I am waiting until I finalize this whole thing in terms of selling and all. I received few messages regarding the pricing - Will keep you posted once I get this all decided. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all your words, thoughts, opinions and ideas on this :grouphug: you guys are amazing !!!!

:w00t: Good point, and Woah for having someone else who already exist with "kattoon". Can you send me the link? I did a quick search and came out with a website of a community to share cartoon drawings. How can I check if she has a trademark? awwh I like the name Kat(short for Katkoota) Toon (short for cartoon). Will see what can be done for this

psst...check your PM TylerToon is waiting for you there.
you can't pay me:HistericalSmiley:. At least not now because the pricing thing is still under construction. I also just realized that I have to ask about the naming (KatToon) thing.


hugs
Kat

Kat, I feel so proud of you!! I know that may be silly to say, but I really do!

 

[Katkoota]

I will also love a Katoon sometime

I've already emailed you to add me to your list. I would like all three of my babies done

Added your fluffs to the list guys:grouphug: and will keep you updated once I start and complete the drawings :chili::chili: after I get the rest of the thoughts with this small plan finalized and let you know.

IPlease, don't work too hard and enjoy life and your babies. You need time to pamper yourself and just relax, too. Love you, Kat!! ♥

luv ya too dearest Suzi:grouphug: I don't know if you checked on my last email to you yet, but I am having a good time KatTooning. Most importantly, it keeps my mind off anything that is stressful. Just looking at these precious faces:wub: and trying my hand at drawing is good enough at melting a heart.

busy lady:chili::aktion033: pm me sometime ok:wub:

sweet Paula, check your PM :chili:

Kat, I feel so proud of you!! I know that may be silly to say, but I really do!

:grouphug:

 

[missiek]

Kat, you are such a sweet person! Thank you so much for being so generous with your art and talents, as well as advice and sweet offerings of encouragement and friendship. I have never met you personally but I can just "feel" your personality coming through the internet. I just wanted to say that and give you a ((HUG)) from across the big pond

 

[uniquelovdolce]

i agree with kelly ! some peoples good vibes just bounce of the screen , ur kaToons make me happy

 

[mfa]

Kat, Max KatToon is so cute!!!:Sooo cute:

i LOVE the name KatToons too, if it's taken, what about maybe:

Kat-Toons ???:chili::chili::chili:

I couldn't find the site again. :blink: But maybe you can google "how to check on a trademark" or something like that or ask Alice if she knows.

 

[silverhaven]

Wow! Kat, you are doing amazingly well. I love the whole concept, name is awesome too. I would have as much of a problem as you regarding price. It is hard. My daughters friend wanted me to do headshots for her, hard to put a price on when you don't feet secure and professional in your work. You do a fabulous job though, a natural talent. As you do more and they sell and are appreciated you will grow more confident I am sure. Sounds like our other talented ladies are helping a lot. Awesome :grouphug: :grouphug:

Hugs to you Kat :tender: :tender: and your little munchkins :tender:

I found many results for "kattoon" on google.

My late father was a patent and trademark attorney, so I find this interesting. Although I had one course in the subject, it was in about 1983 so of course I remember very little.

Anyway, I did a quick check for a trademark registration on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website and database, and did not find anything there. However, the site cautions you that that is not the last word--their own staff still have to search. Here's a link to the site: Trademarks Home

The basic application appears to cost $275 or $375 depending on things I don't understand. I wonder if it's even worth it to you to apply.

If someone already has the trademark and objects to your using it, you could just change it. Maybe you could use something a little different to distinguish your work, like "Kat's Kattoons"

 

[Rocky's Mom]

OH my gosh Kat....too tooo cute!!!!!

 

[Snowball Pie's Mommi]

Kat, I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier than this to your thread.

First of all, I, as so many, many other SM members are amazed at your talents. I love your art work!!! With that, please PM me when you have time, so that you can add me to the list of customers. I would feel honored for you to draw a picture of Snowball. And, I will pay you whatever it costs.

You know, every time I look at Snowball's camel ... *Dubai* ... I think of you.

Sending hugs and love to you, Snowy, and Crystal.:Flowers 2::smootch:
