Characters from the TV Show Downton Abbey have found a new home in Houndton Abbey. The series by Massachusetts-based artist and illustrator Toadbriar presents characters from the famous TV Show as cats and dogs. Paintings for the series have been done with archival materials that are supposed to last for 200 years in indoor lighting conditions. Prints available on Etsy.

An adorable and hilarious set of photographs of dogs caught mid bath. As photographer Sophie Gamand puts it,
“Wet Dog is a series on dogs being washed during their grooming sessions. The way the water plays with their hair in a very painterly manner, and their facial expressions as the water is poured on them creates striking portraits that resemble famous humans or important characters. The dogs become timeless sculptures.”
Ordinarily, if we saw some bird with the face of a dog, we would run like there is no tomorrow. We would still recommend doing that, even if they look as adorable as they do in these image manipulations.
Funny video that shows the things you say to dogs, and how creepy the same things would be if said to people.
A good concept surely goes a long way in advertising. The well choreographed photographs show dogs and cats with a human touch, asking onlookers to Love Him Like You Love Yourself. The slogan and the campaign have been created by Paris based ad agency Leg for Biocanina. It underscores the idea of taking good care of your pets, and not neglecting their needs, or the care they need.
Lick is a series of portraits of dogs captured mid-lick. It’s an ongoing project and photographer Ty Foster plans to add more to the set.
We love dogs, we love cars, it follows only logically that when choosing a car we should look at the comfort of our dog as well. Volkswagen’s latest advertising campaign Woofwagen tries to settle up dog breeds with the car models that should be most suitable for the dog. The accompanying video of the campaign is of course the highlight, and it has been done fantastically. An appeal to dog owners who would love to travel with their pooch, or just a little play on the loved dog and car, the campaign by London-based agency adam&eveDDB does manage to capture a fair deal of eyeballs.
Famous dogs from popular culture get illustrated in 8-bit for this cool poster. The poster by re:design studio (previously) includes images of 30 dogs in classic 8-bit style. It shouldn’t have been much of a revelation, but it just struck me that 8-bit is quite on the path of minimalist. Prints available on Society6.
![Speed of a Cheetah Versus a Greyhound in Super Slow Motion [video]](/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/cheetah-vs-greyhound-speed.jpg)
The cheetah is without a doubt the fastest animal on the ground. The greyhound is the fastest dog. This video takes a look at the motion of a greyhound as it runs and compares it to a cheetah. Cheetahs are way faster than the dogs, but the comparison, and especially the super slow motion of the dog’s sprint is worth a watch.
