Hi! My name is Cassie. I own an artist named Beth, and together we make abstract expressionist art (wow!). I do the hard part - drawing on the window with my nose (really hard when there are deer or turtles out there!). Sometimes I even throw in a lick or two when I get really fired up; then Beth photographs my "canvas" and has a lot of fun with it on the computer. She calls us "PiCassieO", mostly because one of my nicknames is "CassieO", which fits pretty well with that other artist's name. Our art is really fun - lots of bright colors, and wild strokes and quirky marks (my specialty).

We have a blog (http://www.airedale-art.blogspot.com ) and also an online store (http://www.cafepress.com/airedale_art ) where our "PiCassieO" art is on all kinds of great stuff - even dog bowls and tees! Guess you could call me a working dog. The hours are good and there are lots of perks (like Blue Buffalo dog food and Baby Goldfish), so I'm not complaining, especially since I was briefly homeless several years ago. Life is good.

Editor's Note: I have no idea what key I just hit to make such a bold paragraph, but I'm not touching anything else - it's lunchtime!

Whoops! We almost forgot about this page - sorry about that. Life moves on, and there's only so much time Beth can spend on the computer, especially since she joined Facebook.
Good grief - how many friends does she NEED, especially since she's got ME?? We're still making art, and recently uploaded a video that shows me in action! To see it, go to http://www.video.google.com and search for "PiCassieO in Action". I was at my best, totally crackerdog!! If I could really get to those deer, I'd show 'em who's boss (or maybe not....they're pretty big....).
