I’ve mentioned before that I love a good collage. Sofia Fox dog art for Z Gallerie is collaged out of maps, which is just sweet.
I just put up a post about the series “Literary Pets” by Chet Phillips and I can’t help but also write about another of his series of prints called Wrestle Pets. When I a kid, I watched my fair share of WWF with my brother. I’m not into wrestling at all anymore…but back then it [...]
Random? Yes. But I can’t resist the Literary Pets series of art prints and trading cards by Chet Phillips of Chetart. Each print features such dog authors as Bark Twain, William Shakespaw, F. Scott Fetchgerald, Stephen King Charles Spaniel, and Ernest Hemingstray. I guess it’s in my genes to like this series because my Grandma [...]
Now these are just sweet. Michel Keck makes some amazing dog collages and if you know me, you know that I’m a sucker for a good collage. I made collages all the time in high school and college…yeah, I was cool like that.
Lovin this from Coco Cake Boutique Cupcakes in Vancouver! I’m suddenly craving frosting… (Oh…and I really want to know where that dog jacket is from…adorable!)

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 [...]
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.

. Look at this beautiful and unique dog collage art by Sam Price! Stunning! Now I love a good collage…I was slightly obsessed with making picture collages for my dorm room in college. I wish I had collage talent like this though! I love that he uses old magazines to create these masterpieces. It’s dog [...]
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 [...]
I love profiling the works of talented dog artists! Kellie Oliphant-Burns at Doodle Dog Paintings embodies the type of artist that I am proud to introduce to those who love dogs. Not only does she create the most amazing, modern, custom dog paintings, but she also personally donates a portion of her profits to dog [...]
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 that helps [...]
Story of my life! I don’t know if I should be getting this great poster from Obey The Purebreed because I don’t want Zoey and Leroy to get any ideas…
Looking for a great gift for the dog lover in your family? Look no further…may I introduce you to the Junkyard Dog sculptures by YardBirds. These are great metal sculptures made by the very talented Rich Kolb. There are many different breeds available as well as cats and other animals. Here are some of my [...]

Dog art always catches my eye and at some point I would love to get a painting commissioned of Zoey and Leroy. High up there on my wish list of artists I wish I could afford is Robert McClintock of Baltimore. He does amazing digital paintings from photography. You can see his work at: http://www.robertmcclintock.com/index.html [...]
