I had so much fun with my first Punk Rock Puppy that I’ve decided to make these groovy pooches into a series.  Here is a work-in-progress scan of the next two, a Boston Terrier and an English bulldog:

These are done with Prismacolor colored pencils on paper.  I’ve never been too interested in doing actual, real-life portraits of animals and pets (boring!*), but I seem to have found my groove with doing “funky” animal portraits, injecting unexpected doses of color and whimsical accents like colorful stars.  It somehow fits in better with my artistic sensibilities and personal inclinations.  So far it’s a lot of fun!  (*edit: I don’t mean to be snarky with the “boring” comment — it’s just that I personally get bored doing “normal” portraits — my hats off to people who do paint them!!)

I’ve uploaded the Boston Terrier to Zazzle.  Here is a sample of some of the cool stuff I created using my Boston Terrier drawing:

I will also be making these doggie designs into jewelry in the near future.

I’m open to suggestions if anyone would like to see a particular breed made into a Punk Rock Puppy!
