Sizzle and her recommendations for Animal books - does yoga count?
Tis the season for spectacular animal books and two of Mrs. Sizzle most recent finds are here! Between Two Dogs and Do Unto Animals are great ideas for the dog animal lovers in your family.
paws up for corrie wessman's animals
It is with great furry pleasure that I introduce you to this wonderful pencil portrait artist based in Chicago, Corrie Wessman. As she puts it, "My work is minimal and intentionally thoughtful with an underlying tongue in cheek theme." Her fashion animal work is very much up Mrs. Sizzle's alley so we had to dig a bit further to learn more about these wonderful pictures!
with the help of instagram friends we bring you RC/KP and Kate Perry's lovely animal illustrations
As you all know one of my favorite activities is being glued to Instagram and following the suggestion of accounts of other dog people I admire! So, @growlmama, when I finally get to meet you, I will hug you, for one of the brilliant accounts you led me to was this: Kate Perry of RED CHALK, who is a wonderful illustrator and was inspired by one of my photos enough to do it doggie justice with a drawing! Lucky Raggio, you made the Australian cut! As you would assume, I reached out and here is the "poop" on Kate and her wonderful illustrations!
SWEET EDIE SIZZLE GOT HER PORTRAIT DONE BY MISS BOXWOOD
Do we not LOVE instagram? I came across these delightful illustrations and had to share. Linda Kocur is an illustrator, designer, and principal of Miss Boxwood—a hand-crafted paper goods company. Her studio is managed by two very demanding Basset Hounds and
a Welsh Terrier with a personality disorder.
MARK ULRIKSEN PUTS DOGS ANYWHERE HE CAN AND MRS. SIZZLE LOVES IT
So this week's New Yorker cover is so very #mrssizzle, no? I LOVED it and had to meet the man behind the art, Mark Ulriksen. This is what he had to say about dogs, "I love them because they love us so profoundly and unconditionally. And they help us humans try to live up to the high pedestals they naturally put us on."
