All You Need is Dog

Well today is officially the "day of love"... so I thought it appropriate to announce the first book, created BY Dane & Dane Photography FEATURING Dane & Dane Photography with a theme we all know a little something about...

LOVE.

Introducing All You Need is Dog verses from your favorite love songs in the key of D-O-G

"All You Need is Dog" is collection of our most prized and admired photographs, matched with love song moments that we all can relate to, celebrating the wonderful bond we have with our canine compadres. You will giggle, you smile, you might even get a little teary-eyed... These photographs are overwhelmingly compelling and reflect some of the best words of love ever written.

Don't take our word for it... Come see it for yourself!

This book will premier and signed copies will be available at our Art Walk debut in early March (details to come) and will also be available at the Seattle Kennel Club Show.

After that, the book will be available on our website (which will also be new by then) along with an itunes playlist of songs featured in the book! How cool is that!?

I am not going to show you the cover, or sample pages yet because I want them to be a surprise... But, in honor of my "an Olivia blog a day" - share one of the song/photo combos that may or may not be in the book *wink*

"NO ONE LIKE YOU" john denver

I like your eyes.
I like your nose.
I like your mouth.
Your ears, your hands [paws], your toes.

I like your face.
It's really you.
I like the things you say and do.
There's not a single soul
Who sees the skies
The way you see them.
Through your eyes.
And aren't you glad.
You should be glad.
There's no one, no one
Exactly like you.

Decopaw? Cowbelly? Great names... greater art!!

I am fairly sure that this was the first piece of Decopaw Art that ever graced my eyes, years ago.
To this day, it remains one of my very favorites.

What I didn't know, when I first saw this clever and masterful work, was that photographer /designer Jamie Pflughoeft {owner/operator of Cowbelly Photography} is just as whimsical, charming, and absolutely captivating as her carefully crafted art work.

Jamie {and her sweet, sparkle-eyed pup Fergie} live, work and play in Seattle. They epitomize the perfect urban northwest pair- usually on the way to or from the dog park, camera and tennis ball in hand: a frolicking manifestation of the exquisite art they create. {Jamie may be the brains behind the work, but for-sure Fergie's the inspiration!}

If you have been into just about any one of Seattle's many trendy pet boutiques or hip doggy day cares- you have likely had the privilege of seeing Jamie's work. What you may NOT know about this modest - but - mighty enterprise, however, is that Jamie is one savvy cookie with big plans for her small business! Be on the look-out for Decopaw greeting cards, calendars and other merchandise in stores near you- Not to mention on sites like Pampered Puppy and Pet Lounge

I could call Jamie "competition" but I prefer to call her friend, and I can't wait to commission a huge Decopaw of Olivia to hang proudly in the Dane & Dane studios for all to drool over. If, somehow, you are NOT familiar with the divine creations of this lovely local lady, visit her sites, if you ARE familiar, visit again: I promise it will brighten your day!

It's an honor to have colleagues like Jamie- and talent and vision like hers, take this whole "pet portrait business" thing up a notch {or 10}
