Hiya folks! I'm Caanan. A simple cartoonist. I had my first book published in 2010 with DC Comics, called Celadore. It originally ran on Zuda.com. 180 pages of secret societies, nymphs, shapeshifters, vampires, genies, a unicorn and kids being kids. Since then, I've been doing Max Overacts on my site, OcassionalComics.com which was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2011, and updates monday, wednesday & fridays (though right now it's tuesdays and fridays because I need to slow down before I hurt myself.)

Current Residence: Calgary, AB
Favourite style of art: Cartoons

Hi all!

This is just a quick note to say thanks - again! - for all the favourites, likes, shares, etc. that my Catwoman Cat Lady pic got.

Also just to address the many people who have requested it as a print...

Seeing as none of my own characters are in this piece of artwork, I don't feel comfortable making it a print on this site. Yes, it was originally a commission, but we're legally protected for one-off pieces through fair use or artistic license or whatever, but to upload a large file here on deviantart for sale is to set this image up on a production scale which is technically not legal. Now I know DC and Marvel let artists go crazy drawing their characters all over cons and stuff, it's free publicity to them really. But there are a lot of cats in this image owned by far larger and more litigious companies, so I'm not going to risk it. Honestly, I'm surprised deviantart even ALLOWS people to sell prints of licensed characters who don't belong to them.

Sorry if that blows for some people, but that's the way it is. Doing fan art like this isn't a way to get rich, it's just a fun way for some of us to come together in mutual appreciation of the same awesome things. Cats. Comics. Cartoons.

I was just wondering whether requests and/or trades are open or closed.

I generally keep them closed but I also find that doesn't stop most people, so I end up doing the occasional commission, etc. ;)

Wow! I love your work! You make such great connections between the subjects of your mash ups. What a great sense of humor you convey in most of your pieces as well! I am so glad I came across your artwork. It inspires me and makes me smile. :-)

Thank you! Smiling makes everyone look younger. I'm surprised so many don't do it more often. ;)

Thanks, Scurron! Max is my default speedy style, so most things here took longer and required more concentration on the art side of things.

I love your work! Your drawings look like they were done without much effort, but hard to match in terms of quality. I'll be watching out for your gallery, for sure.

I must say I'm much motivated by your works, sir. I see I still have much to learn just by looking at your drawings. You've given me something to shoot for in my own endeavors!

I too am still learning, joulester, but I'm glad I can inspire anything in anyone! My motto is if it can't be funny, at least make it fun. That doesn't help me any when it comes to drawing hands though. ;)
