Participating Artists (in alphabetical order):

Amber (Day) Bernt  Artist from the United States, created this card especially for the SAFTH Exhibit.

"Onyx Cat™ is an original creation by artist Amber (Day) Bernt".
The Onyx Cat story- Onyx started as nothing more than a doodle for my Halloween cat back in October of 2010. Every year for Halloween I’d do a different black cat but something about this devilish feline stuck. I’d barely get one card done with a slight variation of this pointed eared extra long tailed black cat, and my art buyers were asking for more! Even well beyond the Halloween art buying period my buyers wanted more of the black cat. Onyx was developing somewhat of a sarcastic trouble maker personality and he needed a name…. I didn’t just want him to be ‘the black cat’. So I settled on bright green eyes and dubbed him Onyx Cat! People continued to eat him up.  Onyx Cat now has his own fan page with a weekly comic and his own facebook profile page.  Note from Amber - There are big changes happening in my life, but I am still creating new ACEO and small format Onyx Cat and other art, which can be purchased on my website. The Onyx doll is now available for purchase in two sizes in my shop too. Here’s my contact information- Email- doujinshigirl@yahoo.com . My Zazzle shop for all your apparel, home, and office needs featuring my original work. You can also connect with Onyx on facebook or me on facebook.
