Hello!
Before I announce the calendar and diary winners I need to say that if you don’t see your fur baby here, fear not, there is much MUCH more to come. The diary is away at the printers, the calendar is awaiting it’s text entries and I am about to start some brand new greeting card designs for what is now known as my classic range (the rectangle card shape).
Many of you sent me photos that were perfect for my other style and as my aim this year is to be prolific I’m hoping to surprise a few more of you before the summer is out. And a special mention to those of you with long pointy nose dogs, I’m working towards a bit of an art exhibition here in September/October and lurchers and greyhounds are definitely high up the inspiration list thanks to the awesome images you sent in. I have been truly spoilt this year, so thank you one and all.
The Criteria
Variety of breed, mix of composition, the month it will appear in, those that make me laugh, those that make me cry all factor in my final choice of muse. Often it comes down to whether I can draw on the day and more than once within the project time frame I get well and truly beaten.
Depending on the detail, each design takes between 4 and 6 hours. For the dogs placed within the room setting, I use my basic apple mac skills to add the flat backgrounds and then the caption game begins which everyone at Little Dog Towers enjoys (in a mickey taking, is that your best effort kinda way!)
Right, I’ve waffled on for long enough, and so, without further ado. Here are your DOG 2020 Superstars, I hope you like them.

I’ve used this design in both dog and cat calendars and diaries for December, not because I was being lazy but because I think it’s a perfect reminder for peace and goodwill to all.
