I never have much time to paint something for myself but every now and then I do. I’m also really quick at painting Lar & Sush, I think its because they’re both white and I spent all day everyday with them (I’m also quick at painting Harry but not Poppy!) 👩🏼‍🎨🐶

This bag absolutely sucked to paint though, if anyone wants water-resistant canvas painted then it’s probably a no. It absorbed my fabric & leather paint so I had to do the base in acrylic and I couldn’t top coat it definitely isn’t as durable.

Enjoy my new day bag, I think it’s cute 💁🏼‍♀️🎒

A-G of dog breeds I’ve painted!! I have been working on an actual A-Z for years but then I wondered how many I’d already done. I’ve painted hundreds of dogs in the last 7 years but I don’t think I’ll have done a full 26 in an A-Z.

Anyway this is part 1, did I accidentally paint your dog??

(Not to keep milking the Afghan Hound thing too but I couldn’t find any other A breeds, I know I’ve done some so plz lmk if I did an A breed for you!!!)

I’ve updated my dog mini prints!!! Thank you to everyone who helped me decide what to do with my vending machine, I’ve changed it so it also now includes waterproof vinyl stickers along with mini art prints.

Dogs have lost to cats every single market I’ve taken my vending machine so I’ve given the art prints a little revamp. I did sadly retire the Afghan Hound becuase I heard they’re a wildly unpopular breed, but also it had a swear word on and every single time a kid used the vending machine they got “100% that bitch”

Updates on when you can next find my vending machine coming soon (basically I don’t know when my next market is yet cos I’m moving house and I have no idea when that’ll be) ❤️😘

A little playing card update… to basically say I need to hurry up and paint. The full deck will be done and available all together by the end of the year (so I need a sample deck produced asap).

If anyone has ideas for the jokers let me know, I either think two really “odd” dogs or two cats??? 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐶🐶

Some playing card notes:

♥️ For anyone included in the deck I need to scan and photograph them together once they’re all complete. Each card takes over 4 hours to paint (which is 200+ hours of painting) I’m doing my best to get these completed asap. I’ll send an email to let everyone know when they’re complete and confirm postal addresses to send them to you. TY for being patient!! 😘
♣️ Once they are complete, I will have a playable deck of all 52 cards available to purchase.
♦️ I might have a few more breeds I need to paint within the deck, I will post this when I have completed all of my current dogs, otherwise all slots are full.
♠️ I do not offer custom playing cards to be purchased, this may change one day but I get a lot of messages about it and until the deck is complete I won’t be selling custom cards. I’ll definitely announce if I do & hopefully will one day!!
