This portrait is of the fabulous Natalie and her beloved dog Obi. She contacted via twitter and although I have never done a joint portrait of an owner and their dog before, I loved doing it! Houseplants feature quite heavily on her insta page so I thought I'd incorporated them too. I wasn't going to add the tear stains but Natalie said, 'Even though I hate them, they are Obi' so they are in! 

Paperchase have asked me to do some Valentine card ideas so as they have already stocked the Dog Stars range, I have done some Valentine themed ones… I'm pleased with them. They are cute and funny I think...

A new year, a new decade and here are some new Dog Stars greeting cards. More affordable than WWIII and funnier than a stage play about BREXIT, the new cards feature Amy Whinehouse, Justin Beagle, Kanye Westy, Red Sheeran and Terrier Swift. Many of my best-selling old favourites aimed at old people are still available and you can buy them all on my Peachy Thrills Etsy store.

Sir Cliff Bitchard was influenced by Elvis Pedigree and dominated the Bristish dog music scene in the 1960's. Bitchard's singles including 'We don't Walkies anymore', 'Devil Dog Woman' and 'Mistletoe and Whine' helped make him the third best selling dog in the history of the canine music charts. In the 1970's he fronted his own television show, 'It's Cliff Bitchard' and went on to be the first dog recording artist to be knighted, becoming Sir Cliff Bitchard in 1995. From mid November you'll be able to buy Sir Cliff Bitchard and others from Paperchase. Until then, you can get them from my Etsy shop....
