welcome to patty kadel illustration & cartoons the place for greeting cards • pet portraits
funny people • quirky dogs • random amusing wildlife • and the best door sign ever
Patty started drawing funny pictures somewhere near the dawn of time. Eventually, someone was foolish enough to pay her to draw funny pictures. Now the IRS thinks she's an artist.
Living in the creative hotbed of the Pacific Northwest in the company of her two-tone dog and an indeterminate number of suspicious goldfish, Patty divides her time between zydeco dancing, creating fabulous art, and puttering around.
Some of Patty's clients include cartoonstock.com, Sellers Publishing, Recycled Paper Greetings, Marian Heath Greeting Cards, Northern Cards, Jon Hanson, author of Good Debt, Bad Debt, the American Water Spaniel Club, The Columbia Humane Society, Cascade Zydeco, and Dos Geezers Private Label Beer. Her work has been featured in Artists' Market and in the ever popular text, Women and the Ownership of PMS - The Structuring of a Psychiatric Disorder.

Humorous Illustration
Perk up your newsletter, annual report, advertising campaign, business stationery, billboard, or book with cartoons or humorous illustration, black and white or full color.
Greeting Cards
Nothing conveys what's in your heart like a character with a big nose and googly eyes. Say it with dogs. Say it with penguins. Heck, say it with what(or whom)ever tickles your fancy.
Pet Portraits
Immortalize your best friend in watercolor and ink or acrylic. You supply photos and a personality profile and in a couple of weeks you have a custom cartoon portrait of the love of your life. You can have the artwork digitally or the real thing on 100# Arches watercolor paper. Matting and framing optional, but available.
Cartoons
Single panel cartoons in color or black and white are available through cartoonstock.com. Get a high resolution file to use for your project or have it printed on a gift item from tee shirts to tote bags.
