And here is the latest muse, my kitty cat Bunny Boy— Aug 2011



Gogus — hanging out the car window was one of her favorite things in life



Remembering Gogus. The inspiration behind Biff the Dog and my character-branded art.

My dog Tasha, had the nickname Gogus. She was with me during the years of 1987-1999. She was my greatest teacher of unconditional love.

In 1989, I created the character property Biff...the Dog® loosely based on her image and infused by her vibe of unconditional love. She has inspired my art for years now. It is a way of life for me to always strive to make the best choices based in that same unconditional love that she taught me. As a result, Biff the Dog has been an icon for tolerance and acceptance mimicking Tasha to be the love of real dogs. A character property that can teach a vibration of love in a world sometimes striving to get out of darkness and hatred is an important quality for a character to embody.
—In loving memory of Gogus. Forever alive in me as pure unconditional love, non-judgment, acceptance, tolerance, consciousness and peace among the people on earth and the amazing planet that we all share.
