Welcome to happy fido, a collection of weird and wonderful designs that make the dog lovers that we all are stand out from the crowd.
Here’s how it all started.
A little while after lucian the poodle bounded into our our lives I thought I’d celebrate it with something arty, something different, something you couldn’t just get off the shelf. My home is dotted with quirky paintings and overpriced scribbles so a homage to the fur baby would fit right in so I jumped on the internet to find something. It didn’t take long to find that nearly everything out there was either kitsch, twee or just a picture put through a computer photo filter passing its self off as art. I contacted an artist friend of mine who’s quite renowned for his dark images of mental health struggles for advice and was quite surprised when he said he’d give it a go himself.
When the print arrived I was speechless.. he’d caught the dogs personality in a beautiful abstract manner. So impressed I even had a t’shirt made with it on… and that’s when it started. One friend after another wanted one of their pooches and
I was getting asked by strangers on dog walks where they could get one.
So here we are with the finest selection of dog themed t’shirts (and limited run art prints) on the internet.
We hope you’ve enjoyed flicking and scrolling round our pages and have found something that’s stopped you in your muddy tracks and fell in love with.
Our artwork is original.. unique and original. It’s create by hand from a selection of photos on to an iPad as you would a canvas but without the waste. There’s so many sites out there saying personalised artwork but they just put your image through a computer filter and hope you don’t realise. We do it differently.
We try to catch the essence of your dogs character from a selection of images. There’s no scanning, filters or photoshop tricks, all our artwork is painted freehand on to a digital canvas. It’s a labour of love for us as every dog we do joins the ever increasing happy fido family.
