We’re big, big fans of Jo Chambers aka Studio Legohead here at Dog Milk (have you seen the portrait she did of Miles??), so when Jo reached out with her newest series, I jumped at the chance to share it! In honor of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and all that is royal and jewel-encrusted, Studio Legohead is offering your pups the same regal treatment: custom portraits in the Jubilee style, complete with actual gold and silver foil crowns. Blingin’!

I discovered NYC-based artist Melinda Buie’s work through my friend Amy’s blog last week and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since! I was so blown away by her pet portraits, in fact, that my new life goal is to commission one of Wrigley. Until then, I’ll just admire all the pups already lucky enough to be in her portfolio — and dream of the perfect spot to hang Wrigley’s imaginary/future/totally-getting-one-one-day painting.
Why wouldn’t you want to take a nap on the leader of the free world’s head? Or maybe you prefer Berlusconi.

We first featured See Scout Sleep back in July of last year, and since then the business has grown quite a bit (and we’re glad it did!). Beyond beds, See Scout Sleep now has a collection of geometric collars and matching leashes.
