The series of 6 above were from a newspaper flyer advertising dogs needing to be rescued. All with a pitiful ‘adopt me’ look in their eye captured by Yuba Raj.Yuba Raj has since moved to another studio across town, I was lucky to run into him and his young son. It was too late to order from him, but I will be sure to get some more next trip, in June, 2009.The two Danger Dogs below were from my first set of commissions in June, 2007, and were painted on a recycled signboard. The back is almost as interesting as the front.{gallery}artists/YubaRaj{/gallery}
