Happy Birthday Dog Art Today!

Dog Art Today, a blog I started as an "experiment, a vague challenge to myself to see if I could to it," turns three this month.  As I head into year four, I continue to be amazed by the depth and breadth of dog artists I discover and the infinitely creative ways dogs appear in every form of art.  I remember so clearly when I first started blogging I worried I wouldn't have enough content to fill more than a few weeks of posts.  Seriously, I had a list of a few dozen dog artists and that was it.  I would be done.  Now, 842 posts and over half a million pageviews later, I have trouble keeping up with the vast amount of artworks I plan to feature.  So even though I write this blog, it continues to surprise me.  And I love that, the endless inspiration, the joyful depiction of dogs, and the eternal bond that they have made with the artists in their lives.  Thank you for your tips, your comments, and for sharing your love of dogs and art with me.  It is a privilege, every day.

As a thank you gift, I am raffling off my most favorite product from my store, a blank journal.  Please leave a comment below to be entered to win your choice of one of my journals.  I have dozens to chose from here.  I take mine everywhere.

I will select a winner on Tuesday, March 16, 2010.

    Happy 3rd Birthday! Love opening your e-mails to find something new and interesting. It’s great to see how so many artists express their inspiration and love for dogs. This also helps me feel connected to, and learn from other artists with similar interests. Thank you for creating this. Wishing you many more years of success and doggy inspiration.
