Cats, dogs, hamsters, and even the occasional lizard rendering, is ordered. But recently when she was asked to create an illustration of a pet pig, in her mind, a story began weaving into this piggie tale. Pignoli's story is one of growth. At the beginning, he is quite unambitious, but by the end he has a name that is quite delicious!
