For the Love of Dog: Pet Portrait Artists!

Nikki Jeske — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:50:42 +0000

For those of you who know me, you know that I am a huge animal lover and I’m very passionate about the many animals that are in my life. Combine that with my love of art and you’ve got the perfect mix for today’s article: a showcase of three incredibly talented pet artists. These three woman create beautiful pieces of artwork in very different styles that bring to life beloved dogs and cats a like (and horses and goldfish and what have you). They all have a passion for animals as well and it can plainly be seen in the love and detail they put into every single painting. Enjoy!

Studio Pet: Gretel

Studio Pet: Porkchop

There are a lot of factors that go into making your working environment just right. Whether you work from home or in a studio, with other people or solo, the lighting, atmosphere, music, amenities, all are critical. Not to be overlooked, is that occasional special someone who knows just how to make you feel better when an illustration is going horribly wrong, and to celebrate with you when that big job comes in, the studio pet.

This is Porkchop, the illustrative Boston Terrier. He’s a tough critic, and all work decisions go through him, but he is a kind and generous authoritarian. Always chipper in the morning after the bike commute on the back of his illustrator Josh Cochran, and ever ready for that afternoon coffee break. A savvy pup, you can even follow Porkchop on twitter: @porkiethegreat

Likes:

Sunbeams, sleeping and foreshortening.

Dislikes:

Rain, late nights and Phil Collins.

Nicknames:

Porky, The Boss, Mr. Chops.
