Art Portfolio: Local Dogs Project

Local Love + Sweet Doggos…

The idea for this personal project came from a combination of love for the valley in which I live, as well as the lack of truly location-specific products in the local shops. A woman sold the local store a number of random stickers bearing the town’s name, but with 100% generic imagery.

So I thought to myself, what’s something that makes this valley special to ME? What’s something I could create (and offer in the local shops) that both celebrates the spirit of our valley and would appeal to locals and visitors alike?

The answer? DOGS!

So I took it upon myself to request photo submissions and digitally illustrate 70 individual dogs, then design sticker sheets incorporating my own photography, and offer these sheets for sale in both Redstone and Marble, Colorado.
