dog

20” x 10” acrylic

NOTE: no dogs, shaggy or otherwise, we're harmed in the making of this comic

I made a collage of my favourite tree, a baobab, using postage stamps. The wild dog puppy seemed to creep in from somewhere!

roughs for a client - eventually went for a more muted colour scheme and of course the finally work had two dog lions.

Watercolour Commission of my friend's Dalmatian dog called Phoebe.

Dogs will always make me feel better, especially the big one when you can just snuggle into that furry body!

Watercolour of my German shepherd dog called Rommel, who is no longer with us. He went to that great kennel in the sky many years ago now.

A study of dog

"Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of spirit. Unlike the dog, the cat's personality is never bet on a human's. He demands acceptance on his own terms." - Lloyd Alexander Materials - Alchohol-based Markers, White Gel Pen and Black ink pens

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

Ahoy, me mateys! Jimmy had a fun day on the high seas.

This was a huge drawing created for a lady who has a husky dog pack.

When I saw this vintage Boston Terrier pull toy I just had to illustrate it. My favorite nickname for Annabelle is LuLu. I hope Barky doesn’t mind.

Wanted to draw a row of fat corgis.

Did you know that February 8, National Kite Flying Day? You'd think it would be in warmer weather. Go to my profile for more info on my sandwich bags.

Classic story: vampire guy and werewolf guy start a basketball team; a dog joins; a clown comes after him. It's your archetypal Air Bud Situation. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a million times.

Trying to work out a composition for a client. In the end i produced 4 drawings all slightly different.
