Danger Dogs in Manhattan!
October 30, 2009
Finally New York Danger Dog lovers have a place to see the Dogs in Manhattan.
Prudence Designs at 347 W. 36th St (between 8th and 9th) is proud to present the Danger Dogs!
Call to confirm the address: (212) 691-1356
The proprietor, Carlson Handy, saw the Dogs at the Product-N-Press show in Chelsea on Tuesday and liked them right away. Sorry about the bad photo. Maybe Carlson will send me a better one. One that includes Danger Dogs.
Here's a peek of the Danger Dogs you will get to see in person by stopping by:
Niki, a Pomeranian from Brooklyn will get to admire her portrait. Above by ShaShi. The script is in Tibetan.
FloJo, an Italian Greyhound, got a Nepali Extreme Home Makeover. The couch that FloJo is lounging on is originially beige. Shree likes a little more color in his furnishings.
Millie, the Enlightened Chocolate Lab, by Megh Raj. Megh Raj paints a very lifelike portrait.
Aussie the Labradoodle's portrait includes Govinda's trademark reflective lettering.
No Danger Dog exhibit is complete without a Boxer. My friend Siggy as painted by Sabala.
This Coton de Tulear signed by Surya also looks like a sheepdog. I believe this one was painted by Vinosh.
Gustavo by Sabala. The Nepali script translates as 'Dharma Dog'.
It wouldn't be Halloween without a black cat. Zia by Chandra Chaudhury.
Luke the Weimaraner by Hari Timsina.
This fluffy sheepdog is by Amar Shrestha of Boudha.
Also by Amar is his portrait of a bulldog that I photographed at a garage sale here in Los Angeles.
This Zen Kitty is a tomcat named Lula. Not named by Johnny Cash, this Tonkinese cat's balls dropped 7 weeks late! And he was already named. No wonder he has his dukes up in this painting.
Desi the Havanese puppy is by Megh Raj.
Shree painted Layla the Black Labrador against a golden backdrop and added a dramatic border.
Grace by Sagar, post apocalypse. Sagar means ocean in Nepali and his Japanese chop signature means ocean in Japanese.
Annie and Pitzel the Pomeranian and the Papillion by Jit Gurung of Pokhara.
These Danger Dogs are taking over Manhattan. Hopefully soon they will come to your neighborhood. I'm trying!
Please order your Danger Pets soon, as I am leaving for Nepal in less than 2 weeks. Each Danger Dog commission generates work for 3 Nepali artists and 3 signboards on metal for you to choose from. Extras will end up on Museum Shop walls, art exhibits, or in cool stores like Prudence Design.
By the way, Prudence Designs was named for Carlson's dachshund Prudence. Find out more about Prudence Designs at PrudenceDesigns.net.
More tomorrow.
