Netop’s painting career began in March of 2006.  He is eighteen pounds of boundless energy and was looking for another activity to add to his repertoire, which consists of daily treadmill workouts, skateboarding, agility, and modeling.

Netop’s paintings have been showcased in exhibitions to rave reviews. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of Netop’s paintings is donated to animal shelters and rescue groups.

The Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, NC (www.ccl.org) is hosting an exhibit that will benefit the Red Dog Farm Animal Rescue.  (http://www.reddogfarm.com/). Netop's paintings will be on display along with the work of six human artists. The opening reception will be August 28th from 5 pm - 7 pm. Netop will give a painting demo.

Netop has donated a painting to Best Friends for their Summer Raffle.  http://www.bestfriends.org/

Netop will be at the Lu Mil Vineyard in Duplin, NC on September 19th from 7 pm - 11 pm.  He will be helping the Bladen & Hoke Counties Humane Societies raise money for their shelters and a spay/neuter clinic for the Bladen County Animal Shelter.  He has donated a painting for the silent auction and will be giving a painting demonstration at the reception.

Netop will be joining many NC celebrities in an event and dog walk to benefit COPE Eldercare, a nonprofit organization that helps bring compassionate geriatric care to seniors in Wake County, NC.  www.copeeldercare.com/ . The dog walk will be held Saturday, Sept. 12th from 9 am - noon at the Lake Lynn Community Center off Ray Road in North Raleigh. A donation of $5.00 per pet is requested.  Netop will demonstrate his painting skills.

Shari Strader of Best Friends Network wrote a nice story, 'Move Over Picasso', about Netop.
