mr. Charlie Brown
Consider by many to be the most vital member of the studio, Charlie is our studio mascot. A rescue who is maybe 7 yrs old, Charlie loves to come to the studio and hang out with the artists. He's always ready for story time and to encourage and inspire the artists (often from underneath their chair). If Charlie likes you he might even share his couch in the lobby with you. (Fun fact if you have food he likes you, that's just how he rolls.)
