    Tyler Foote* by Ludmila Sienkiewicz


    A few weeks ago, Dutch artist Ludmila Sienkiewicz purchased an ad here on Dog Art Today.  She said she was looking for dogs to paint and asked for photos of my dog, Tyler Foote.*

    I sent her the link to Tyler's Pinterest boad, "Who is Tyler Foote? An exploration of the lost history of Nevada County, California, America's alienation from nature, and my mixed-breed, survivalist
    dog."

    This morning, I woke up to his tousled, handsome face in my inbox.

    I immediately designed her a new ad and was generous enough to let her approve it before making it live.

    Ludmila Sienkiewicz's new ad


    You don't have to paint a portrait of Tyler Foote* to advertise on Dog Art Today.  But in these times of editorial/advertorial confluence, I thought I should disclose that it doesn't hurt.


    Terms and Conditions
    : Painting a portrait of Tyler Foote* does not guarantee an ad on Dog Art Today's sidebar.  To be considered for this curated virtual dog art gallery, email me a link to your website.

    * Tyler Foote is a road in Nevada County, California built in 1913 by Arthur DeWint Foote who was artist and writer Mary Hallock Foote's
    husband. Tyler Foote Road connectes North Columbia, California to a town called
    Cherokee that used to be called Tyler.   I'm not sure why the town was called Tyler, but I plan to find out.

    Any dog expert will tell you choosing the right breed for your lifestyle is crucial.  Any interior designer will tell you the same is true when picking the right dog sculpture for your home.  Luckily Venice, CA based Gary Steinborn has created these beautifully hand crafted dogs that could be at home in any décor.

    Gary's work is influenced by the American Crafts movement as well as Pop Art and Funk.  His goal is to "produce ceramics that [are] immaculately crafted, intelligent and humorous – suitable for a neo-classical palace or personal Zen retreat."  Simply great!
