Puppy Profile: Holly

One of my fellow illustrators, Brad, has a young Kelpie named Holly.

It would seem that Holly is your kind of adventurous act first, ask questions later kind of pup.

Holly loves her ball, the beach, and chasing her ball at the beach. It just took her awhile to grasp the concept that water is not as easy to run on top of as sand.

It can certainly come as a rude shock when you're baring down on you favourite tennis ball and the ground disappears out from underneath you, and then the next thing you know, you're having a salt water bath!

Have included some wonderful photos of Holly when she was young taken by Brad's brother.

Inspired by the new car purchase!

The morning walk

No matter big or small, fat or skinny, tall or short, (alien or earthling) it seems that dogs love nothing more than their morning walk. I drew this, this morning as i was car pooled into work. Gave me some good sketch time...

Puppy Profile: Spunkii

Did this pic for a mate of Jemma's. Here's what she had to say about Spunkii:-

"This is a dog who can not for one second let me spend 5 minutes alone. Not in the shower, not when going to the toilet, not even in bed with a man.. he must be able to walk in and check up on me and know here I am and what I'm doing at all times. In saying this, if he knows I'm going to be in the same spot for a little while (usually when I'm cooking or watching a dvd) he will disappear into my room and I wont hear the usual chewing of toys etc.. During these times I will always find Spunkii sitting on the floor looking at himself in the mirror in my bedroom. Often he'll sit on the foot of my bed staring at himself in the mirror. I have even come to notice that when I'm in bed reading and he's lying on my bed with me, he will always face the mirror and just look at himself.My ex used to call him the "serial killer", the way he would just stare like a creep into the mirror and if you went to interrupt him, his actions where very slow and calculated, however I think he just realises how cute he is, and he's working on his sad faces in order to get away with more stuff whenever he is with me."
