DEADWEIGHT X LEMONADE: NO.1 (DOGS)


My pal Caitlyn (aka Lemonade) and I have started a collaboration adventure. We plan on releasing different projects over the course of the year, and this is project number 1: a collection of 6 dog postcards featuring some of our very favourite dogs! Though my very favourite dog is the golden lab, which I didn't draw? Major oversight on my part.

We just happened to draw our dogs facing in the opposite direction too. This was not intentional and I wonder what it says about our brains? You can purchase this set of 6 postcards at the upcoming Love & Rummage show at The Workroom from Caitlyn (who will also be selling a bunch of other excellent items of her own - cards/prints/etc). After Love & Rummage we'll put some up on the web!

So, send your favourite dog loving friend a greeting! Or if you're like me and can't have a dog of your very own at this point in time, keep them for yourself, name them all, and get real weird about it. We got together last night, tied them up into packages, and the verdict is in: we're both really happy with how they turned out. This is Caitlyn (and her excellent hair) showing off the goods.

i'm so glad there's a schnauzer. i can't have a dog of my very own at this point in time either (OH THE TRAGEDYYYYY), but my "family dog", (aka the dog that's been partially "mine" since we got it when i was in 8th grade) is a miniature schnauzer. pepper. which is apparently the most popular name for a gray dog ever, & i'm so ashamed that we picked such a typical/cliche schnauzer name. anyway.... yeah. schnauzer love. & dog-less woe.

Mallory: I kinda love classic, typical dog names like Pepper!! My childhood dog was a golden lab named Max - and despite the lack of originality, he really felt like a Max. One day we will have dogs, but in the meantime we can make melt-y dog lover eyes when walking by parks? HA.

Danielle: Thanks, you!
