This was my dog Nick. I had to have him put to sleep a few years ago. It about killed me. I still miss him. He was quite possibly the most awesome dog ever. We think he was part lab, part whippet. A rugby buddy of mine found him on the side of the highway in Alabama as a puppy and gave him to me a couple of years later when he moved to England to play rugby there. Taking that dog was one of the best things I've ever done. I miss you buddy.

i really like the simplicity of this piece. wonderful drop shadow. it would be fun to see it pushed even further graphically, posterized if you will.
Nick was one cool pup. I always enjoyed seeing you roller blading as Nick basically pulled you around Forsyth Park.
Topher- Thanks, man. I may revisit this one at some point. I agree it might be interesting to take it into Illustrator and give it that clean posterized look.
Bob- Yeah. Doing this piece really made me think a lot about him. The other thing that was awesome was I taught him to drink, neatly I might ad, out of the water fountains at Forsyth. That went over REALLY big with some people. ;) Best.Dog.Ever.
Great as always Jason!
This is my favorite, thanks for sharing.
