Live from Kathmandu! Dilip Niroj, a favorite artist of mine, was almost ready, but the signs were still wet!
So I got to see his works in progress on his phone. And they are looking good. Mato the German Shepherd (aka Alsatian) dog is almost finished, still awaiting final details and the lettering.
Rhonda, a Wire-Haired Terrier mix looks comfy on a beautiful chair. I can't wait to see these in person.
Spyder, a lovely Italian Greyhound puppy beside a portrait of Mato, the German Shepherd.
Miro and Putti, a pair of Jack Russell Terriers, are waiting for orange lettering announcing to the world that they are Danger Dogs extrordinaire.
Oscar, the Shaggy Dog, with his colorful background. I like the palette in the foreground and wonder how Dilip hurt his finger...
More photos from Dilip's phone camera. Again, can't wait!
Spyder, the Italian Greyhound, is such a pretty girl. I love the light in her eyes.
Dilip's wife is helping other customers against the backdrop of the frames they sell. The top level of art are hand-painted oils by Dilip.
If you would like to have your dog (cat, horse, chicken, bunny, bearded dragon, etc.) immortalized on metal here in Nepal, now is the perfect time to order for holiday gifts. I am in Nepal right now and ready to give your pet's photo to 3 different artists.
You choose the style, the color, what you would like the sign to say...
I am accepting order until Thanksgiving, November 28, 2019
This hand-painted art form is fast disappearing in Kathmandu, as it already has in most parts of the world. I pay fair trade wages, the artists get to paint again, pet lovers get a choice of three paintings for each commission, and I get to help Nepali artists make a living. Everybody is happy. Rescue dogs from America get to rescue artists from Nepal!
HOW TO ORDER
To order, please send me a photo of your pet. I will give it to three different artists, giving you a choice of 3 paintings and three artists will get work. Each painting is about one square foot and is on metal with synthetic enamel paint. These can be hung indoors or out, be framed or unframed.
While I am in Nepal, your pet will be featured on the Danger Dog Blog, as I stop into the artists' studios and document the works in progress.
Satisfaction is guaranteed as I accept no money up front. If you do not like one of the three, you pay nothing, and the 3 artists are paid in full in any case. Let me know what you want it to say and that's it!
