Folk Art From the Himalayas

Note:  New Orders now accepted for February 2027 trip

BE AWARE OF DOG signs from Nepal are one-of-a-kind, hand painted Fair Trade portraits of pets commissioned by their owners and rendered in startling detail on metal. “Danger Dog” or charming variations on the “Beware of Dog” theme are written in Nepalese and/or English, you choose!  These artists’ work is quickly being replaced by digital technology, even in Nepal.

Your pet’s portrait can be rendered in a naïve, almost primitive style that results in a “doggie mug shot,” or it can have a playful smile, a wary and growling demeanor, or a dangerous gleam in its eye.

In America, as in faraway Nepal, these signs can be as effective as any alarm system, and are practical  indoors or out.

I pay fair trade wages, artists get to paint again, pet lovers get a choice of 3 paintings for each commission, and get to help Nepali artists make a living.   Everybody is happy.   Rescue dogs from America get to rescue artists from Nepal!

Be ahead of the pack.   I am leaving for Kathmandu to order custom portraits of your pet in February, 2026.   I will return in April/May, 2026.   Accepting orders now!
