Dogs By Reusch

Hi, I'm Mister Reusch. I'm a freelance illustrator, and I'm lucky to be able to work from my home studio and play all day with my two Boston Terriers, Frankenstein and newly-adopted Hurricane Katrina refugee Mr. Giles. I couldn't have dogs in my old apartment and it started to make me crazy after a few years, so I started drawing and painting them all the time. Especially bug-eyed, snorty Boston Terriers, French Bulldogs, and Pugs. I included them in many of my freelance illustration jobs, and then started to just focus on making lots of fun dog paintings for gallery shows.I've donated many originals and art prints to dog rescue groups and benefit shows, and in 2006 I started fundraising programs with Boston Buddies and French Bulldog Rescue . For each group, I created a series of four 14" x 11" paintings showing dogs running through the seasons; the background of each painting lines up with the others to create the illusion of one big panorama, though the background foliage changes in each according to season. Four times a year I sent one of the first 10 signed-and-numbered art prints from the series to generous donors who pledged $100 or more to either rescue group.I accept portrait commissions all the time. Though my favorite dogs to paint are Boston Terriers, French Bulldogs, and Pugs, I'm happy to paint dogs of all breeds. ( I've painted cats, birds, all kinds of animals, but dogs are by far my favorite subject). Pricing for different sizes is available at Dogs By Reusch Many thanks to everyone who's commissioned me!Please visit Dogs By Reusch to see more of my original paintings and prints.
