Steve Gadlin will go from cat cartoonist to star maker.

Steve Gadlin who danced his way to a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank is going into mini-retirement as a cartoon cat artist. You can still order his iconic cat drawings on his website: http://iwanttodrawacatforyou.com/ until Friday, January 17th. But, don't worry Steve Gadlin fans, you can still buy pins and greeting cards.
Steve has changed his song from 'I want do draw a cat for you' to 'I want to make a star of you'. Website: http://sgstarmakers.com/ He is also pursuing other creative endeavors which are equally as colorful and playful. So, check out his websites and get in on the fun. And Steve, thanks for the cats you drew for me, my husband, my friends and Ted Allen from Chopped.
