Wooftastic Dog Cartoons

At the start of 2020 my next project was going to be series of paintings about climate crisis. Then along came the Covid pandemic, lockdown, and the ‘New Normal.’ I drew a cartoon of a dog sniffing another’s smelly bits, blissfully unaware of social distancing. It was well received on social media, and I realised that rather than yet more gloom and doom, I should try to make people smile.

Dogs are endlessly fascinating and I love drawing them. The cartoons I’m hoping to publish in a book are about what it means to be one: their dogged stoicism, cuteness, exasperatingly wayward behaviour … what they make of humans and our foibles, cats, spiders …

What would an exhibition of canine conceptual art be like?

How do dogs know how to manipulate humans?

What would a dog think about a ‘Cats Lives Matter’ protest?

How should a dog behave on a first date?

What do dogs think about climate change?

My rescue dog, Gizmo, features in many of these cartoons.

    I’ve been obsessed with art for as long as I can remember. A nursery school report, from when I was three, says: “Nicole is a good little girl, very quiet and reserved. She likes playing with plasticine and looking at picture books.” These days, I play with concrete, styrofoam and paint, and draw cartoons. I still love looking at picture books, but I’m probably not as quiet and reserved any more. My current project is a book of wooftastic cartoons, starring our rescue pooch, Gizmo, and his furry friends.
