Hmmm, me…me... me, about meeee,… well for starters my name is Shelby Bertsch and I was born and raised in Indianapolis Indiana, where through many years of extracurricular activities I developed a talent and love for illustration and art in general. Through the influence of my mother and sister I also developed a slight obsession with cats, which honestly defines me as a person as much as my art does. I always said that when I grew up my dream was to make art and run a cat farm which looking back now would have just been a cat shelter aaaand I think I’ve gotten of topic…BACK TO ART! Ahem, anyways over the years I have been asked many times what is my style and to appease the asker I usually reply with western superhero comic, but the truth is I have no one defined style but lots. My style can go from cartoony to realistic and it all just depends on the artwork itself. A werewolf tearing apart a victim in a bloody mess doesn’t lend itself well to a cartoony style were as a cat slipping on a banana fits right in. That’s the thing; I am not stuck on just one style of art and storytelling. I can be funny one week and horrific the next it all just depends on my mood. Also kitties are fluffy! ...Damn this cat obsessed mind!
