"Even while I was enjoying a 20-odd year stint as a travel writer, features journalist and magazine editor, I was always looking around for a valid reason to hang out with dogs all day. In 2012, I started indulging my hankering to paint, and I found that as I progressed, my subject matter became more and more canine – in a wry, not-too-serious way. I was hooked on the many expressions of every pooch I came across. Dog lovers responded by smiling, and Hangdog was born. It’s now an online shop selling fine art prints, stationery and textiles with an ironic, light hearted, doggish bent." - Megan Anderson
"Dogs have been part of my creative DNA for as long as I can remember. I would draw them endlessly as a child as I wanted one so much. So much so that I would make believe they were mine for real. Finally for my 10th birthday my parents gave in and gave me my first dog. Their personalities and souls are so fascinating to me...and their eyes....tell a million stories."
It was hot and we had a job to do yesterday. The ASPCA had asked if we could photograph some of their current dogs up for adoption. These beauties are all available right now and need your help. Imagine how good it will feel to see a tail wagging. There is nothing more fashionable than a chic new dog especially in Adopt October. To inquire about adoption call: 212-876-7700 extension 4120 or visit the shelter at 424 East 92nd Street in NYC.
Earlier in the summer my dear friend from growing up, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, invited me to see GENEROSITY OF EYE, a film she and her husband, Brad Hall, had made about her Dad's spectacular art collection. The documentary follows her father, William, and the plan to benefit the Harlem Children's Zone when his art collection is sold. Of course, when I went to go see the film I couldn't help be delighted at the altruistic intent of the collection not to mention how many animals I discovered were in it! Here are a few.
