Her portrait portrays a little contrariness typical (so rumors go) of the orange cat.
Lol. I heard that rumor just recently, and it certainly was a fit for an orange rescue I took in during the pandemic years. I gave her the name Zefa. And it fits.
Nice portfolio, bif.

I do know his work. And there's a great movie about him starring Benedict Cumberbach.
