You might already be familiar with Nice Mice for You if you remember their calendar we featured back at the end of last year or if you’re a fan of French bulldogs, Corgis, or cute things in general, like illustrations of dogs brushing their teeth. The delightful shop features art prints, greeting cards, calendars, and magnets — all the work of Croatian illustrator and graphic designer Natrashka. Head on over and take a look.
I’m thrilled to welcome artist, illustrator, and all around awesome human Lauren Gregg to our ranks of Scratchbook artists this month. I’ve been obsessed with her unique style for a long time and am so excited to share her special Scratchbook series, inspired by the many adventures of her adorable pup Reggie. Read on to see what he’s been up to!
Two years ago, we introduced you to Gerald, the mascot and 3D paper dog behind contemporary furniture studio Lazerian. Since then, he’s become a pseudo-muse to more than 100 of the world’s most influential artists, illustrators, and designers in what is known as The Gerald Project.
Oooh, you guys. I just love these colorful pet portraits by artist Karren M. Garces! I’m thinking Wrigley and Smash would look mighty swell with a little pop art treatment — what about your pups?
It’s a new month (already?!), which means it’s time for a new Scratchbook artist! I hope you’re excited, because our Scratchbook this month features the work of the immensely talented Evie Kemp. I’m a HUGE fan of her bold illustration style and am flattered that she chose Wrigley and Smash as her Scratchbook muses!
Twenty years ago, New Jersey-based artist Tara Metzler rescued a pit bull named Novia from an abusive situation. Since then, she has dedicated her time and talents to animal welfare organizations and rescue groups, most recently launching a collection of PSA-style posters to bring awareness and advocate for this wonderful (and misunderstood) breed.
Dog Stalking is a weekly column on Striped Cat Studio, a design and lifestyle blog by Bay Area designer Kate Wong, that features watercolor illustrations of dogs Kate has met during her recent adventures. So far, she has profiled 15 adorable dogs (my favorite might be Chicken, a sweater-wearing Chihuahua mix that will dance and spin for treats) with more added each week.
