I met Alexis a few years ago when I attended SVA. Alexis is an artist and she does these amazing custom oil paintings of pets. You can see her work at her site, Welcome to the Doghouse. Some of her work is currently on exhibit at Doma Cafe & Gallery.

Alexis had recently gotten an octopus / leaves tattoo, she drew the design herself. I have something similar myself of a octopus with peacock feathers. She has also has a little water buffalo, you can she also is wearing a buffalo necklace in the photos.

Pictured is Una or Thea, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it's Thea. If it Thea, then she has Una tattooed on her. Her boyfriend, Andy- also has the same tattoo on his arm.

Again, amazing paintings, check them out!
