Title:
  Blue Raccoon Wearing Blue Necktie with Thin White Stripes  
         
 
Artist:
  Erik Maldre  
         
 
Description of painting:
  The raccoon (or racoon) doesn't normally wear a tie. Momma coon is making him wear one today.

Custom requests are accepted if you can not find an animal, tie pattern, and/or color you are looking for.

For example, via email you may request a Red Penguin with Thin-Striped Necktie painting. I will reply back giving you an exact date and time when I will post the auction for the requested painting. The auction will be assigned a "Buy It Now" tag of $30 (plus $5 shipping). All you have to do is visit my ebay store, "unlikely moose" around the time of the posted auction and you can buy it right then and there.

Keep in mind that I do not duplicate the exact same painting. So if someone already requested a purple penguin with thin white striped necktie, then I can not make the same purple penguin with a thin-white striped necktie. However, I could change the styling of the tie or the color of the painting. The purple penguin could have a solid white tie for example. Or it could be a green penguin with a thin white-striped tie.
