Starting Zeek

Dog Block print#5.

Oh, my dear fuzzy friend Zeek.  He’s become quite a lovely Labradoodle as he’s grown up. His big brother Reggie was my second attempt at doggie block prints.  Now it’s time for this curly guy. The image was taken last fall during my dad’s wake.

Working from the photo, I transferred the important landmarks (eyes, nose, teeth).

He’s looking so serious! Probably the change of hair over his eyes.

Finished image will be 5″x 7″
