Announcing the Bourbon, Dogs and Art CafePress shop. It features shirts, greeting cards and other stuff adorn with images inspired by my art as well as a variety of logo-centric items and underwear.
To celebrate the opening I will send a free 8×10 signed print on 100% archival rag paper to the first three people who email me a photograph of themselves wearing a t-shirt from the Bourbon, Dogs and Art store. In fact, I’m feeling so generous that I’ll send your choice of TWO prints to the first person who sends a picture of themselves wearing underwear from the Bourbon, Dogs and Art store.
Email your photo to tacit60-at-gmail-dot-com. Tell me which print you want. Give me permission to put your photo on this blog. Be sure to include your mailing address.
Here’s the prints to choose from. (The originals are not watermarked.)
Possum
Dog
Squirrel
Young Buck

Gerret's first (and last) day at college.
Hey! My dog got into Duke! At least for a day.
Yesterday Gerret went to the Duke Canine Cognition Center to participate in their research into dogs’ ability to solve problems. The plan was to present Gerret with simple problems to solve that would result in a treat rewards.
But Gerret came with his own research problem. He’s a dog that’s not very food motivated, but rather more affection motivated. So his goal was to try to turn the session on its head and manipulate the researchers into giving him what he really wanted.
He tells the whole story in “The Hazards of Duke” on his Gerret Swirled blog.

Here’s the newest dog thing in New Zealand – Doggelgänger Human to Canine Pairing. Whoa. Based on the fact/conceit that people often look like their dogs, it uses anti-terrorism face recognition technology to match humans with shelter dogs available for adoption throughout New Zealand. Whoa. Wait until homeland security hears about this. It’s not all that useful if you don’t live in New Zealand, but we can always dream, can’t we? So I visited the site and met my match. See above. That’s me on the left, and the dog I resemble on the left.
Of course that immediately inspired me to want to do more research on who should be adopting what. Here’s my research:
Click here to give it a try yourself. Let me know if it comes out good. Doggelgänger is part of the Pedigree New Zealand adoption drive. I learned about it at Dog Art Today.
