As a big fan of these fun-loving, joy giving creatures, I scampered towards and leapt at the opportunity to decorate a huge dog with playful exuberance. On my own dog walking adventures, I meet many differently sized / shaped / natured dogs that inspire my sketching. I wanted to create a wide variety of canines, whilst digging into various illustrative styles that have influenced me during my illustration career. Knowing it’s highly unlikely that any of these dogs depicted here actually exist in real life, my aim is to bring a smile to passers-by who are passing by. I hope children and childlike adults get a kick from these colourful, sparky, live-in-the-moment animals that get a kick from exuding positive energy. I don’t how that cat got in there!?
