I am an abstract artist. The work I create comes out of a response to the particular materials that I use. Though I consider most of them paintings I would say that they are 'constructed' rather than painted. Much of the work that interests me is gestural. I started A Hamster A Day to further familiarize myself with the plasticity of the 'plastic' arts. I also started drawing hamsters to create a daily practice. My productivity has increased in all that I make. Our hamster's name is Knubby Sniffleton.
A Hamster A Day is now on Facebook.
asks:
do hamsters have belly buttons?
I have yet to inspect my own hamster close enough to ascertain whether or not they have a belly button. However, a trip around the internet has proven fruitful. They do have very small belly buttons, and they get covered up by little hamster fat rolls and fur. I would post links but I cannot. If your interest in the “navel area” of hamsters compels you further please check out ‘The Hamster Handbook’ by Patricia Pope Bartlett.
