LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the February 8, 2010 cover of the New Yorker! Wish I would have known about it when it originally came out. The artwork, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Ana Juan amazing!

This one by Brian Stauffer is cool too…so true this winter. There are a lot of little dogs that didn’t get many [...]

We recently lost a wonderful artist in the dog-world…Stephen Huneck took his own life on January 7th at the age of 60. My heart goes out to his wife, Gwen for her loss. Stephen was not only a gifted artist, he also built the Dog Chapel, a place “that celebrated the spiritual bond we have with [...]

I don’t know how I feel about having Zoey and Stella painted with doggy breast implants, but otherwise these are some seriously sweet paintings.  In all seriousness, Rachelle Oatman is an amazing artist who paints for the likes of Jean-Paul Gaultier, Issey Miake, Princess Caroline of Monaco, and Valentino. Not too shabby.

This would look SOOOOO cute in the baby’s room…or in my room for that matter!  Lisa Marie Norton creates custom pet doodles that are whimsical and adorable. They flat out make me smile!  I used to doodle back in college, but my doodles were pretty boring… mostly flowers, turtles, and random sentences in German. Nothing [...]

Every time I stumble upon great dog art like this, it saddens me that my artistic ability is like a little boy being potty trained – I try hard but still can’t get the hang of it.  Fortunately there are talented people like Marc Tetro and his work shown here that make up for my shortcomings.

I just discovered a great artist named Stephan Fowler who does whimsical canvas paintings of dogs.  I have fond memories of watching Cubs games with my Grandpa Harmon, so I had to throw in the great Golden Retriever Cubs fan picture!  He makes custom art from your dog’s picture too!

I absolutely love pet photography and those who know me well know that at some point I would love to be a pet photographer. Indognito is an amazing book of dog photography by Karen Ngo. It features dogs in costumes of all kinds. I love the expressions on these precious dogs’ faces. The colors are [...]

When I was in elementary school, we did an art project where we traced each other’s shadow onto paper and then colored it. I was so proud of it!  I was sent down memory lane when I saw these great dog silhouettes in O Magazine.  Karl Johnson will take any picture and create these modern [...]

This picture may seem familiar to you. It is by the same artist, Shepard Fairey, who created Barack Obama’s well-known iconic poster.

Now Fairey has teamed up with the folks at Adopt-A-Pet, (formally 1-800-Save-A-Pet), to raise money for shelter dogs! (He’s obviously a man after my own heart!) Adopt-A-Pet is a non-profit group [...]
