Michael John dePierro Offers Free Shipping on Dog Sculptures

 

 

Beagle

Until the end of November, artist Michael John dePierro is offering free shipping on any of his pet portrait sculptures.  He has many breeds available or he can create a custom hand-painted wood relief portrait of your pet from a photograph.  The sculptures are approximately 10" high and 3" thick.  The width varies depending on the pose, and the art is designed to be hung with basic picture hook. 

A custom pet portrait takes appoximately two to three weeks to complete, so order now.  Visit Michael Jonn dePierro's website Parts of a Larger World to commission one of these darling, soulful works.   I think his ability to capture the individuality of each dog is extraordinary.  Mention you saw his work on Dog Art Today to receive free shipping.  Thank you, Michael.

Tori Loves Michigan

 

 

Astoria Harris is a partially paralyzed Cairn-Yorkie-Shih Tzu mix who doesn't let her disability prevent her from enjoying the miles of trails, abundant wildlife, and beautiful scenery of Michigan.

Hat tip to Adam McLaughlin, my faux brother, for sending me this video. I've watched it many times.

P.S. When Tori poses against the black background, I think she looks like John Singer Sargent's Pointy. So beautiful.

Dog Art Christmas Cards: Advertise Here

 

 

Keep Calm and Carry On card by Anja Mielke

German artist and Pug fanatic Anja Mielke sent me a note with this new Christmas card design and a reminder that there are 51 days until Christmas.  That means it's time for my annual Christmas card post. 

If you Google "dog art Christmas cards" you will see Dog Art Today appears as the top unsponsored link.   It is in the top five position for "Christmas cards with dogs" and "dog breed Christmas cards."    This year, in light of TWFCSTGD (The Worst Financial Crisis Since the Great Depression) I am offering a spot on this year's Christmas card post for $15 (last year it was $25).

This is an exceptional deal, since traffic is up, averaging 1250 unique visitors a day (850 - 1000 last year). And your card will have a permanent place in my Dog Art Christmas Cards archive, where I get traffic all year long.  Seriously, people start shopping in July.

If you would like one of your dog art holiday cards included in this post please email me a jpeg of your card and a link to your website.  I reserve the right to select the cards I feature on Dog Art Today. 

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or other gift products you would like to feature.

P.S. You can purchase Anja Mielke's darling Pug Christmas card at Mops Royal.

There are lots of teddy bears and kittens in Tomoko Nagai's work, but I found this one piece with a little dog.  Visit Tokyo's Tomio Koyama Gallery to see more.
