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.

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.

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.
Years of Bob Barker telling people at the end of "Price is Right" to spay and neuter their dogs didn't work. PETA's campaign featuring Mickey Rourke challenging pet owners to "Have the cajones to fix your dog" isn't working. So leave it to psychotherapist/graphic designer/dog lover Robyn Arouty of Project 71 to spell it out in black and aqua with humor and cool. Great job, Robyn!

P.S. More from Robyn and her crusade to provide comfy dog beds to animal shelters in the next few weeks. Visit her blog for more information on Project 71.
Willy, Come! by Moira McLaughlin, 2009
Rumors are swirling that a dog has been spotted at the White House and that a male Portuguese Water Dog puppy might there to greet the Obamas when they arrive home today at 5:50 PM Eastern time. I am tracking all the First Dog news over at my other blog, The Obama Dog Blog.
In the meantime, I wanted to share my latest work with you entitled Willy, Come! I had the pleasure of working with Portie owner Buffy Nicolas on another collage of her boy Willy. Our first collaboration was the Porties for Obama – Hope piece. This one was inspired by Willy’s playful exuberance, his passion for the water, and his obedience training expertise. I also wanted to incorporate the feeling of springtime in Virginia, where the Nicolas family lives, as well as Buffy’s favorite colors.
Buffy’s response: WOW! OH WOW!
Made me feel like the collage is a success.
Thank you to the super talented photographer, Lee Anderson, who took the black and white photo of Willy and allowed me to use it in this piece. And to Donna, his wife and business partner, who helped coordinate the process.
I also put the Willy collage on a line of greeting cards, journals, t-shirts, mugs and more. Visit my online store to see all the products. Here are some of my top sellers:

Hang in there readers. I am trying to will dog art into the recession-proof category. Any thoughts?
