Kool Kat

Submitted by Abby C.

Yes, that's me in the picture. The one on the right. You see, I love kats. The chances of me becoming a kool kat lady? High 70s. And what's better than getting a socially approved paw greeting by one of our feline friends? Nothing. Except maybe a hug. A hug would be nice.

Charlie the Tuna

Submitted by Madison C.

My BFF Amanda is turning 25, which sounds really old, but I think she would love a Free Crappy Portrait for her birthday because she knows how to use the internet. She has a hard time seeing things because she's the world's shortest person (but we still love her). She loves Starbucks because she's a barista, but she also really likes cats and panda bears. Her boyfriend is named Charlie, which is the same name as the guy on the tuna fish can. She's going to be famous for making famous movies one day. Tommy, the green ranger, is her favorite Power Ranger and I think she thinks he's a real person. I'm sending you a photo of Amanda with my dog Pancakes. They get along really well.

100% German

Submitted by Jaclyn P.

Evan plays a lot of soccer, he's an architect, and he currently lives with three cats (Spaghetti (red), Theo (grey) and Fred (black and white)) and four guy friends in a dirty boy house. He loves sneakers and has a really crappy cell phone that doesn't have sound, doesnt vibrate, and has tape holding the battery in. His family is 100% German.

I'm Mexican, Italian and Polish. I manage two yoga studios in Michigan, I have a little red Australian shepherd with pointy ears named Henry. I love to bake pies, hike mountains and I'm a pescetarian, which means the only meat I eat is fish.

 

Evan and I like to be bums together when we're not working. We drink a lot of 24 oz. Bud Lights and are Guitar Hero rivals, although he is slightly better than me. We both love electronic music, sweatpants, television, spicy Mexican food, hot sauce, and food in general.

Cheesy fantasy novels

Submitted by Samuel T.

It'd be really nice if you guys could do a portrait of my girlfriend Lauren and I. We're both from Minnesota, and now live in Chicago. Lauren likes math and classical music, but she hates history. I like History and cheesy fantasy novels, but hate math. Umm... She's allergic to pollen and cats; we both don't like Twitter; Lauren really likes to ice skate; I think Exile on Main Street is the best album of all time; Lauren wants to go to France at some point. This October, we visited Lincoln's home in Springfield, IL.

Caturday

This is me, my bestest friend in the whole wide world, and her fiance. We're dorks. She went around my Facebook and commented on tewnety pictures, this one included, about how big my boobs are. It was also Caturday, so I dressed for the occasion. I know the quality is poop because it's a photo booth picture, but this is one of my favorites.

Our Two Cats

Submitted by Susanna C.

We're getting married on May 19, 2012. Our two cats make up the rest of our family, and they fight like most brothers and sisters. Oliver (the little orange guy) makes it his mission to terrorize Priscilla (the fluffy one) whenever possible. Oliver really just likes to chase Priscilla and get into trouble. Priscilla likes to hide from Oliver and eat... a lot.

Breakfast at Claudia's

Submitted by Claudia J.

Sebastian and I met Breakfast-at-Tiffany's-style, since his flat is directly above mine. We met more than 2 years ago, but it took us more than 6 month to become a couple. Back in those days, I was occupied dealing with three jobs, painting and renewing my flat and bottle-feeding four abandoned kittens while trying not to neglect my own to cats. Six cats in total, ladies and gentlemen! In other words, he had to deal with a single mother of six who had no free time at all and  whose face and upper body used to be sprinkled with dried paint (the violet one is the one he still remembers fondly). Alas, we used the little amount of time we had to talk and cook and, strangely, he made me play rummy with him every day. 

Luckily, our platonic relationship turned out non-platonic eventually, and here we are, still living in two separate flats and yet me hearing his every step. 

Which is why I would love to have one of those fabulous portraits just now. (Yes, I am still a cat-lady and I now own 3 cats in total. Sebastian's relationship to the bunch is half love, half hate. But we manage). I would also love to have some playing cards included in the picture, and a reference to this wonderful film would be great, since both of us are film geeks.

Toothless

Submitted by Megan C.

I am from a po-dunk town in Alabama. There really isn't much that goes on here except random shootings, and the fact that I am pretty sure People of Wal-mart was founded in this town. I am a college student, and I am a theatre major. Of course being a girl and in love with the arts, by default I am a "cat lady." I love my two cats, and I also love everything that has the word Moscato involved in it. One day I plan on creating my own Jurassic Park, but to ensure the safety of my life I will remove all the dinosaurs teeth. I also plan on learning to stop talking to myself in public places. My favorite animals are probably opossums, lions, and pterodactyls. The picture I attached is of me (in the red cardigan) and my cousin Crissy. We were on a hay ride that my cousins forced us to go on. We were a little less than enthused leading to us chewing on hay the entire trip.
