For as long as he can remember, Tein Lucasson has adored dogs. And today, the graphic designer, art director, and producer has made his four-legged canine friends into a creative career, transforming photographs of dogs from friends, family, and fans into artistically-refined, anthropomorphic images in the style of Old Master paintings. From a Labrador in an aristocratic coat to a mongrel in a sailor suit, Lucasson's customized pet portraits bring out the unique character of each pooch. Digitally rendered but with the grandeur of classical portraiture, the delightful l'animorphe pictures are accompanied by witty, quirky, and thoughtful texts. After his hit, Cat. Portraits of Eighty-Eight Cats and One Very Wise Zebra, Lucasson's second illustrated book with teNeues is a must for all dog owners and lovers.
