Live from Kathmandu: Finals from Megh Raj Thapa

Megh Raj Thapa is able to paint photo realistic images.  It is always a pleasure to work with him.

LukYi the Black Dog by Megh Raj

LukYi is a black pup with a direct gaze and beautiful glossy fur.  Megh Raj did it justice.

Breakfast the Black Dog by Megh Raj

Breakfast loves that yellow ball as much as the green one.   This dog has a nice smile and pretty white paws.

Molly the shaggy dog by Megh Raj

Molly's fur blends well with the background Megh Raj chose. And that pretty pink tongue.

Alvin the Yorkie by Megh Raj

Another nice portrait of 'Alivn' the Yorkie.

Matilda the pit Bull mix by Megh Raj

Matilda again pleases with that big grin   Megh Raj chose a black background to bring out her colors.

Mr. Peanut, a Domestic Short Hair, by Megh Raj

Mr. Peanut's portrait by Megh Raj brings out a softer side of this pretty black cat.

Ginger the Snake Cat by Megh Raj

Ginger is nicely captured and looks good against her pink background.

Sam the Yorkie by Megh Raj

Sam the Yorkie looks young and happy in this one.  Megh Raj likes subtle colored backgrounds, allowing the pet to shine.

 

Mozzarella the Papillion mix by Megh Raj

This is the third and final portrait of Mozzarella the Papillion mix.   Megh Raj got the details of his ears, making them look like string cheese!

 

Sumio the Tuxedo Cat by Megh Raj

Sumio the Tuxedo Cat has great whiskers in this portrait by Megh Raj.

Kahn the Black Chow by Megh Raj

Kahn the Black Chow is so dramatic and magnificent.  He definitely fills the frame with his leonine fur.

Moxie the Yorkie/Affenpinscher mix by Megh Raj

Moxie, again with the pink background, inspired by his blanket!  The artists all had fun with his hair

Zora the Border Collie mix by Megh Raj

Zora, an enlightened black pup.  She has a nice smile in this one.

Schwazie the Dachshund Beagle mix by Megh Raj

Schwazie has beautiful eyes and a very direct look.  

Beezus the White Shepherd by Megh Raj

Beezus the White Shepherd is a Denger Dog in this one.   Megh Raj captured his softer side.

Bodhi the Shepherd/Hound Dog by Megh Raj

Bodhi by Megh Raj has a different look than the two previous incarnations.  It will be good to see them all at once.

Bernie the 3-legged Pit Bull by Megh Raj

Bernie shines again in this portrait by Megh Raj.

By the way, the chalk marks are just how Megh Raj aligns his lettering.  I leave them on so that people can see the method  They are easily wiped off.

Please stay tuned for more finals to come! If you would like to have your dog (cat, horse, chicken, bunny, bearded dragon, etc.) immortalized on metal here in Nepal, it is now too late.   

I will return in the autumn of 2022, leaving plenty of time to deliver holiday gifts.

You choose the style, the color, what you would like the sign to say... You can also check out NepalDog.com, as I have over 72 breeds of dog (and counting) and many cats.

I pay fair trade wages, the artists get to paint again, pet lovers get a choice of three paintings for each commission, and I get to help Nepali artists make a living.  

Everybody is happy.   Rescue dogs from America get to rescue artists from Nepal!

HOW TO ORDER:  To order, please send me a photo of your pet.   I will give it to three different artists, giving you a choice of 3 paintings and three artists will get work.   Each painting is about one square foot and is on metal with synthetic enamel paint.   These can be hung indoors or out, be framed or unframed.

While I am in Nepal, your pet will be featured on the Danger Dog Blog, as I stop into the artists' studios and document the works in progress.

Satisfaction is guaranteed as I accept no money up front.   If you do not like one of the three, you pay nothing, and the 3 artists are paid in full in any case.   Let me know what you want it to say and that's it!

Send your photo to [email protected] or find out more at www.NepalDog.com.

Let's keep these artists painting. American Dogs = Nepali Jobs.

Dogs of the Day: Who could choose?

Mike the Pit Bull hand painted in Nepal

Mike is so handsome in his three portraits that all three went to a good home:  Mike's owner is a lucky dog.

 

Stella the Karmic Jindo

Stella the Jindo's owner couldn't resist getting all three of these portraits. 

Poster the Border Collie

Another impossible choice was the smiling Poster - a beauty of a border collie if I ever saw one.   A Poster Boy for the working class.

Buster the White Lab

Buster the White Labrador Retriever is a happy boy that loves the water.   His owner loved all three and so do I.

French Bulldog Tito times three!

Who could choose among these three portraits of Tito the French Bulldog?   This dog has personality plus and all three artists got a different take on his attitude.  

Nemo the Border Collie hand painted on metal

Nemo the liver and white colored Border Collie also proved impossible for his owner to resist.   All three went to a good home.  

You can imagine how much fun it is to get these great paintings of your pet painted in Nepal - all the while helping these talented signboard artists to hand-paint and thrive in a digital world.

I will miss seeing these dogs' portraits around, they are all beauties.
