I recently had the chance to design a set of cartoon Husky puppies for a dog trainer named Georgette Lombardo, who is the owner of Pawsitive Training and is in the process of writing her first book.
The idea for the artwork is to bring her puppy training tips to life with three cartoon-style characters based on three of her dogs. One is a full Husky, the others are mixed, and while they were not all in her pack at the same time, in this book they’ll be a trio of Husky puppy packmates.Â
Original sketches were part of a design workshop to develop the art direction for the book.Â
The original photographs of Georgette’s dogs: Gaston, Ivan, and Alaska.Â
