Peticotees: Thoughtful Dog Art T-shirts

 

 

The dogs on Peticotees dog art t-shirts don't say a lot, but, just like real dogs they communicate their thoughts perfectly.   These beautifully designed organic cotton Ts for men and women incorporate origami, shadow puppets, and emoticons, and celebrate the connections dogs have to each other and us.

Available at Peticotees on etsy.

P.S. Speaking of dogs communicating, a reader sent me this video. I watched it this morning and spit up my coffee laughing.   Enjoy.

Kristin Loffer Theiss: Free-Motion Dog Drawings

Artist and mom, Kristin Loffer Theiss brings her modern sensibility and her MFA degree from The School of Visual Arts in NYC to the world of children.  The result; her klt:works blog, Etsy shop, and website which feature her works inspired by the unedited creativity children tempered by the eye of an artist trained in form, function, line, texture, and color.

I especially like Kristin's dog plush toys and t-shirts made from silkscreen prints of her free-motion thread drawings.  And, of course, her model, muse, and son, Sayer is a doll.

Thanks, Trish Holbrook Meyler for letting me know about klt:works. 

P.S. Kristin's blog is really a treasure of visual inspiration for any artist or beauty lover.  Highly recommend.

P.P.S.  Yes, the plush toys are for kids, but I think they would be fun for dogs too.  I know one little dog who would delight in tearing these works of art to shreds.

Czechoslovakian Scottie Matchbox Label

 

Another dog makes an appearance in Maraid's outstanding flickr matchbox label collection.  This Czech beauty reads, "Remember - safety-matches don't belong in children's hands." 

I thought this was a good fit for Back to School Day in Nevada County today.  I always loved going back to school.  But glad I'm not in class this morning.  I am having a hard time putting two words together.  I am going to try some right-brain stuff and see how that goes.

P.S. View my matchbox label t-shirts from Maraid's collection at my store.
