I am fairly sure that this was the first piece of Decopaw Art that ever graced my eyes, years ago.
To this day, it remains one of my very favorites.
What I didn’t know, when I first saw this clever and masterful work, was that photographer /designer Jamie Pflughoeft {owner/operator of Cowbelly Photography} is just as whimsical, charming, and absolutely captivating as her carefully crafted art work.
Jamie {and her sweet, sparkle-eyed pup Fergie} live, work and play in Seattle. They epitomize the perfect urban northwest pair- usually on the way to or from the dog park, camera and tennis ball in hand: a frolicking manifestation of the exquisite art they create. {Jamie may be the brains behind the work, but for-sure Fergie’s the inspiration!}
If you have been into just about any one of Seattle’s many trendy pet boutiques or hip doggy day cares- you have likely had the privilege of seeing Jamie’s work. What you may NOT know about this modest – but – mighty enterprise, however, is that Jamie is one savvy cookie with big plans for her small business! Be on the look-out for Decopaw greeting cards, calendars and other merchandise in stores near you- Not to mention on sites like Pampered Puppy and Pet Lounge
I could call Jamie “competition” but I prefer to call her friend, and I can’t wait to commission a huge Decopaw of Olivia to hang proudly in the Dane & Dane studios for all to drool over. If, somehow, you are NOT familiar with the divine creations of this lovely local lady, visit her sites, if you ARE familiar, visit again: I promise it will brighten your day!
It’s an honor to have colleagues like Jamie- and talent and vision like hers, take this whole “pet portrait business” thing up a notch {or 10}
