All signboards featured today on the Danger Dog Blog are available.   Prices range from $150 to $200 for these particular signboards.

The Nepal Art Dog project promotes the endangered art of Nepali signboards.   Signboards are painted on recycled metal, using synthetic enamel and are meant to hang outdoors, though they work indoors as well.   Over 1700 portraits have been commissioned to date, giving these artists real work.   I have worked with over 58 artists.  This is a Fair Trade Art project.

 

On my last trip to Nepal, the Danger Dog commissions were the only art these artists were still hand painting -- all their other work was digital or printed on flex.   These artists can and will paint anything.  I decided to concentrate on pets as there was a tradition in Nepal already of 'beware of dog' placards and I knew that people would like them.

 

Each commission will be given to at least 3 signboard artists - giving 3 people work, the pet owner a choice and museum shops Nepali folk art.   No money is accepted up front.   If you don't like any of the 3 choices, you pay nothing. 

 

Please contact me at ampage1@gmail.com with any questions.

 

This project is for pet lovers who collect art and would like to make a difference in these artists' lives.

 

More information is available at NepalDog.com.     You can see a slide show of available Nepali signboards on the Nepal Dog Channel of YouTube, and hear some nice Nepali folk music at the same time.    There are about 8 different movies up there at present, grouped by artist or breed.
