Puppies!!!

I recently got the opportunity to design a poster for a pet parade in St. Johnsbury. It was quite ironic because I've never been a dog person! I'm afraid... but hey! why not? So I did it. Vermont is known for the famous wood carvings and children's books illustrations of Stephen Huneck. 

At first, I wasn't too thrilled about the first poster, but then i was told that it would have been great if it had the Stephen Huneck theme since Dog Mountain, the place he started was a major contributor and had allowed to used some of their imagery. Of course I'm told this after the first poster is done and not during the first meetings...yay! 

So I went back to the drawing board, and started looking at several illustrations of Stephen and began drawing. The theme was also the Olympics, so I had to incorporate that into the mix. Hey! the dog stole an olympic ring!
