FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denver, Colo. – March 15, 2012 – Jen Griggs Sebastian, an accomplished pet portrait artist, is excited to debut her whimsical, bright pet art as well as a bold new line of designs at the SURTEX art licensing show. The show, May 20-22, 2012, at the Jacob Javitz Center in the heart of New York City, represents the launching pad for Angry Squirrel Studio, the art licensing and surface design studio that features the art and creations of artist Jen Griggs Sebastian.

“Though this is the debut of Angry Squirrel Studio at Surtex as well as to the world, I have been creating custom pet portraits and whimsical dog art for more than 10 years as ScoutDog Studios,” Sebastian says. “I am excited to launch and expand my art offerings after researching licensing trends and learning more about what manufacturers want in the marketplace.”
