Congratulations, Michelle Page, global dog art entrepreneur and Dog Art Today reader.  Michelle's Danger Dog Pet Portrait business was featured in the New York Post last Sunday.

Julia Szabo writes:

"Page found these colorful, no-two-alike pieces of folk art on her first visit to Katmandu more than 20 years ago. The signs literally warned people about dogs, but in a graphically dynamic way that seemed to qualify as bona fide art. On subsequent trips, however, Page noticed that the signs started to become an endangered species: They were disappearing in favor of boring, mass-produced, plastic signs. So she began collecting the old-school signs, scouring shops for fine examples, eventually amassing an impressive collection."   read more

Now, Michelle employs 55 Nepali artists who do commissioned artwork for pet lovers all over the world.  Simply send Michelle a photo of your dog, (cat, rooster, or horse), and she will have several artists render your pet in the classic Nepali hand-painted tradition.  You choose your favorite sign and she sells the others.  Signs cost $100 – 300 plus shipping.
