It is, I think, entirely coincidental that Sled One painted this lucky cat (maneki-neko), around the same time that two of them appeared during a paint jam in Lucky Lane. This piece encapsulates Sled One’s skill at creating depth in his pieces through the subtle application of shading and light throughout the piece.

The gold disc contains Sled One’s signature, but there are tell-tale signs of his paw print here, in particular, for example, the floating eyebrows. There is mischief and movement in this cat, and Sled One doesn’t simply create a character, he animates it with emotions and attitudes. Outstanding work.
