“FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAMS”
by Maryanna Hoggatt
Portland, Oregon artist and author Maryanna Hoggatt, aka Leetlewolf, is the creator of the Animal Battles series of illustrations, producing cute yet complex work that appeals to both adults and children. Overcup Press says her army of beasts dressed in children’s clothing are “playful and light-hearted without being overwhelmingly whimsical” and successfully capture narratives, human tendencies, and emotions. “They never seem to express uncertainty, and instead maintain an uplifting sense of optimism and positivity when faced with overcoming challenges.” In 2014, only a year after making art her full-time work, Hoggatt shared a sampling of her upbeat work for Forest for the Trees NW—apparently appealing to her adult fans at Second Profession Brewing on NE 59th Ave at Sandy Blvd. @maryannahoggatt @overcupbooks  @secondprofessionbrewing  @ffttnw
