Funny Dog Breed Illustrations

Welcome to my “Funny Dog Breeds” gallery, a passion project where I take the literal meaning of dog names and bring them to life with a digital twist. Using Procreate on my iPad, I’ve combined my 40+ years of experience as a North West UK illustrator with a bit of British wit to create a unique series of digital paintings. Whether it’s a Boxer actually hitting the heavy bag or a Sausage Dog with a culinary secret, these well-known breeds are presented as you’ve never seen them before!
