The amazing jumping dog!


This lil fella is affectionately known by those of us at work who walk past him at lunchtime as Jumper or Tramp (Due to the fact that he must have a trampoline over his side of the fence).

Everytime you walk past his fence he literally jumps up and hangs on the fence by his front paws. Not the safest behaviour for a dog but there seems to be little to discourage him and he can hear people coming from a mile away.

That said and done, he sure is cute and the gys at work figured the lil fella was deserving of a photo.

Why we do what we do


Its been a while since my last post.

Unfortunately have been bogged down with work commitments and other projects and haven't had the chance to draw any of my favourite puppy pictures.

I was inspired tho the other nite after a day at work. That day my company had received a bit of fan mail for the pawphans i design where a young twelve year old kid had sent a letter saying how much they loved the product and they enclosed some drawings of their own. They were fantastic and i had to say were the highlight of my week - if not even more so.

After a partucularly frustrating week this reminded me why so many of us do what we do - the warm feeling you get when you get to see the joy that a young kid gets from your product.

It put a lot of things in perspective for me and really made my week extra special.

That nite i actually went home and sketched up this pic for our customer service department to send back to the kid. I guess it was a bit of a thankyou for reinspiring me.

I'm hoping that i can one day show the kids drawings on this blog (will have to seek permission first tho).

Hopefully my next post won't be so long a wait next time...
