The RatMat Series of Artwork is a way for old ratty paper, in many cases sketchbook backings or cardboard pulled out of the middle of yearly calendars bought at the dollar store, to be turned into something rat-tasticly beautiful.  As an artist with a very minimal budget, any paper I can convey my passion for these suede painted, history enveloped, pieces of artistic machinery is what I am going to put it on.  Please enjoy my way of recycling for I love every minute of there creation and hold each piece close to my heart.
