Buckey the Keeshond Illustration

This is a Keeshond illustration I did for a good friend of mine. He is always helping me out with watching my dogs when I go out of town, so I wanted to do something really nice for him :)

This illustration was done in Illustrator and then we had it printed on 24x36 canvas & framed. All I had to work with was an old photo of the dog, the background I did completely by taking picts of different compostions and picking the best one that fit with the dogs pose.

I highly recommend if you have never had an image printed on canvas to try it, it looks AMAZING!


We had it printed at Canvas on Demand. All you do is uplaod your image, pick the size you want it printed at and choose a frame. Easy! They also have some cool color options for you to choose from for a more dramatic look.

Alright lets get started. Funky, hip & Urban Bulldog Illustration.

So lets see, what should I show you first? I'm thinking I might show you a design I just recently finished. I wanted to update my CafePress website, but I wanted to do another funky urban design that was dog related. Im calling it Projekt Dog, as I plan on doing a whole series of these with different breeds. So here it is:
I really like what i did with this design & can see it on so many items it's not even funny. My inspiration? Well of course the bulldog, but also old vintage playing cards and the realization that people that love dog art need something that isn't always cutsie bubble gum factory.

Uraban & hip is what this image represents. So fear no longer people laughing at your drab bullog shirt, a new era has arrived!!! Check it out in the BarkArt store.
