New Repositionable Wall Decals

July 7, 2014
07 Jul 2014

I’m finally making time to add some products to the store. I started with a few wall decals of my favorite illustrations on Friday and hope to get to the rest sometime tomorrow. These are not only easy to install (just peel and stick) but they’re removable and repositionable. They’re so fun! I’ll always love the flamingo the most but we’ve got the english bulldog up in the front office and he’s almost the same size as Dee ^_^ One of these days I’ll redraw Dee or even turn one of her photos into a wall decal. She’s usually here in the office with us now but it’ll be fun to have her up on the walls for days I’ve left her at home. Dee doesn’t like the car and tends to try to avoid going anywhere but I think she’s starting to learn that it means she gets to get extra love from the delivery guys and our employees. The extra treats she gets during the day certainly helps too. :]

Yikes!

July 2, 2014
02 Jul 2014

I just realized it’s been 7 months since I last posted on FB and over a year since I last added new designs to my website. Time sure does fly!!

In case you’re wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been busy with quite a few projects but just to name a few of my faves:

I’ve been designing and managing our team over at Wallums Wall Decals,

Wallums Wall Decals Murals and Prints

creating a new website and putting together some designs for Chalkboardwalldecal.com,

chalkboardwalldecal.com

sketching up new shirt designs for Inkopious.com,

English Bulldog Shirt Sketch

and taking lots of silly pictures of Dee for Instagram. I’ll start posting some of my faves here again as well as some fun pet related finds.

Cherrywinkle Dog Tags

October 29, 2013
29 Oct 2013

Dee and I got the best gift in the mail recently from our friends from Instagram. We’ve been following Digby Van Winkle for probably a year now and we love him dearly. His humans recently opened an Etsy shop selling their handmade dog tags under the name Cherrywinkle. Their tags can be created to fit just about ideas you may have. Suggest a background color and the perfect icon to represent your dog and they’ll make it happen. I love the pink heart one they sent us and I’m tempted to buy a black and white one with a diamond for her other collar.  It sure beats buying those bone shaped pieces of stamped metal from the pet store! And, although one could say Dee probably doesn’t know any different, I’d say she loves it.

Oh, and her collar and leash? They’re from Mattie & Margot. Very high quality with tons of colors to choose from!

Case of the Mondays

July 22, 2013
22 Jul 2013

Dee’s got her Monday face on. It looks like she might just stay in bed all day and I definitely want to join her.. I’ve been busy trying to finalize some big projects I’ve been working on and managed to work straight through the weekend without a break. I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday only to realize it was the oh so dreaded Monday. What a bummer!

The good news is, I’m just about caught up on the important stuff. I have one beautiful dachshund to finish up and then I’ll be adding my newest designs to the shop like a madwoman. I’m also in the process of introducing a new style and I’ll be accepting new custom portraits again very soon. <3

Fetching Photos E-Book by Charlotte Reeves

May 30, 2013
30 May 2013

One of my absolute favorite pet photographers, Charlotte Reeves, recently launched her first e-book on natural light dog photography. When she first told me about it, I just knew I needed to own it. Learning about pet photography has been on my long list of Things To Master and while I was formally taught in commercial photography and have even taken a few jobs photographing pets, I still have much to learn in photographing pets.

Charlotte’s images are incredible and I often find myself sitting with envy whenever I see her post a new session on facebook. I’m so honored to have gotten to know her over the last year and find myself constantly inspired by what she’s doing with animals. She uses her talent for the greater good and I look forward to seeing what other brilliant projects she unleashes in the future.  The e-book itself blows my mind. Not only is it beautiful, but it has  more information than I thought possible… Info about working with dogs, gear and equipment, how to plan a session, how to choose a location, how to photograph the tricky black or white dog, etc etc etc. So much brilliant info,  I just got bit by the inspiration bug and just want to get out there and photograph every dog I can.

Whether you’re just an instagram fanatic, an ameature photographer looking to increase your knowledge, or even if you’re a pro already working with animals, you will definitely get some great inspiration and knowledge from this book.

Charlotte was very generous and she gave me an exclusive discount to share with my faithful D+J followers. Save $20 on her e-book by using the code DIESEL and instead of the great price of only 69AUD, you get it for an even better price of 49AUD! The code is only valid for a week so don’t delay and join me in the quest for better dog photos worthy of taking over the instagram world!

17 Apr 2013

These three adorable faces were recently drawn for their bulldog loving mom, Kelly. We’re currently working on a drawing of her sweet 17 year old cat, Bella. I hope she loves it just as much as she loves the canvas portrait of her three beautiful bulldogs.
