Teresa: Bernie,
I have a special request. If you know of anyone who could adopt a
wonderful mild tempered pit bull cross form the Louisianna hurricane
Rita I would be so happy. I would keep him but our 5' wire fence is not tall eoungh to keep him in.
He is not at all dog aggressive and my pugs can share the contents of his food bowl with no complaints. He came from a house full of cats and dogs and they all peacefully co-existed.
Can I send you pictures of this gorgeous brindle dog?

Jan Bennicoff: Got your book just this week, love seeing new ideas! Have been doing ATC's since November of last year. They are sure addicting. I have gotten two of the art groups in the area making ATC's and trading. I will be teaching three workshops at our local art center here in Springfield, MO. We will probably start trading sessions at the center on a regular basis.
Also taught three small mini-sessions for art teachers to take back to their classroooms. Yeah, more people creating cards!!!

Diane Schulz: bernie,
I purchased you Artist Trading Card workshop book and have had 4 sleepless nights studying and creating several of the techniques in it. It is a priceless piece of inspiration to me. I just started creating and making ATCs last year and am completly consumed by them.
Your work is amazing both artisticaly and animaly!
If you haven't visited Brown County, Indiana you should plan a trip there. It is a beautiful quaint artist packed town where I purchased your book at one of my two favorite art stores.

Jennifer Mehlman: Bernie: I've been a major fan of your artwork ever since your article in Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I recently purchased your ATC book and it is one of my favorite sources of inspiration. I recently created my own ATC using UTEE and imbedding objects - something I never would've thought of doing! Your collage sheets are great, too! Please put me on your email list. Jennifer

Annie Griggs: Hi, Bernie,
I met you at Blue Sky Massage School on March 11th. You had the latest addition to your family with you (sweet little girl boxer) who absolutely stole my heart. After viewing your webpage, I am touched and awed by what you and you husband do for these amazing animals, and want to say that you, too, are wonderfully amazing for what you do. My husband, Chuck and I share your passion for animals, and we hope to house our own rescue someday. Thank you for your selfless, altruistic work. Sincerely, Annie

Laura: Bernie... I was just thinking about you and wondering how you are doing... I just watched Perry's People that I had taped a few years back when you were on it and it was really emotional. Miss you....
December 23, 2005 6:27AM
Maggie: What great art both in your stuff for sale and in the great creative talent you put into these poor helpless creatures! WOW! I am so impressed with the before and after pictures of these dogs. I too have a Jack Russell mix dog who can be a handful at times. I wouldn't trade him for the world!

Valeria Kerkkä: Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I really adore the work you do with animals and give you all my best wishes so that you could keep on doing that in the future, too. I wish that some day I might be able to organise something like that too, but too bad that the time is not right for that just yet.
Also, I fell in love with your art and colours and thought to ask if you make mail art? It would be lovely to swap some pieces, if you have the time and will for that. You can email me and we can discuss things better then:)
Take care! And hug a dog for me:)

Christa from Germany: Dear Bernie,
I saw the Starbuck´s Tumblers in the last Somerset Studio and I love them :-) Now I would like to buy one to create it by myself, but I can´t find them here in Germany. My aunt from Chicago will visit me in February and I want to ask her to buy one for me. Can you please tell me the "original" name, the size and the prize of those tumblers? Thank you in advance and all best wishes Christa

Mary Haldeman: Dear Bernie, Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I just wanted you to know that your artwork inspires and delights me. It's quite simply...stunning and magical. Oh..the orbs around the pups..I think you must have them around you too for angels talk to you...actually it's more like a whisper. I am a lover of animals but to do what you do takes a very special person indeed. My lab Sedona went to heaven in my studio so I feel her constantly around me. The orbs are (in my humble opinion) are beautiful little spirits keeping the pups safe and helping you love them so very much. I am going to order a bunch of collage sheets next week. Take care and keep on lovin those sweet little ones. Hugs, Mary
PS. I was thrilled when Somerset chose four of my ATC's..I can't imagine how you felt when they asked you to do a story..I'm fairly new to all of this but it is turning out to be an incredible journey. Forgive my rambling on and on.
December 26, 2004 12:40PM

I just looked at your site ad being an animal lover.....just really enjoyed it. I saw a card , Love's Memory that I would jst love to have. Can I buy one? I would really like to go to Az. but my 42 year old daughter has terminal Pancreatic Cancer so every day is precious and I don't plan anything but a day at a time. Ilost my husband of 50 years and this card just hit me with the beautiful saying. I think your your idea to have your art help the animals is so wonderful. So if I might purchase that card....just because it hit me in the heart I'd really appreciate it. Just let me know . Thanks Shirley DeRuchie, Bakersfield, Ca.
