I was asked to hand paint a mug design of someone's pet dog as a gift for them. I was sent a photo, and I asked if her pet had any habits, and was told she liked to pull all the cushions on the floor and sit on them in a big pile, so that is what I painted. Her owner was very happy, and sent me a photo of her dog modelling with the cup. She's a very sweet looking dog, but she doesn't look overly impressed!
