I am so excited to announce that my pug art along with 12 other friends, has been published in the Somerset Studio Gallery - Summer 2009 Issue!Here is a quick synopsis of the Dogs Rule Project from my Pug Notes Press Page:
The Dogs Rule Project 2008 is the brain child of artist, Jill Beninato, who invited 12 other artists to collaborate their efforts to illustrate how and why dogs rule. Each artist created 14 pages to be bound into 14 books. One book was sent to each artist while the 14th book was auctioned off on Ebay in November 2008 and raised $350 for A Place to Bark Animal Rescue. Please click here to see how my page was created.
Please feel free to click on the links above to get a more detailed view of the project and how it was created.

The layout in the magazine is amazing. It spreads across 9 full color pages 152-160.
Here is a preview of all the article for you to see in a PDF Format that I put together.
The publication also has a bonus page online that shows more images that were not included in the article.
I am thrilled that the pop-up baby Emmitt I created for each page is also featured. :)
