This was for an information illustration project, which I based on the history of dogs. It's basically a book on canines through the ages that can fold out into a sort of doggy-tapestry. I read a lot about dogs and where they came from, and then completed about half of a dummy book and 2 colour artworks.
I kind of spent the first half of the project barking up the wrong tree, but eventually managed to knuckle down and start working like a dog. As is customary I ended up doing my last artwork in the final 12 hours before the deadline, which resulted in it being a bit of dog's breakfast compositionally, but I was so dog-tired that I didn't really care.
One day I might rough out the rest of the dummy, but for now we'll let sleeping dogs lie.
I'm very impressed, Mr Vick. Is that the russian astrodog at the end?
