Cavalier King Charles Spaniel group poster, Is it dog day

I was recently invited to create a print to celebrate a group of folks that meet every other Saturday to socialize themselves and with their collective thirteen Cavalier King Charles Spaniels! I had an awesome time photographing each pup and I am currently creating the portraits that will be part of the final print (See Wilson above!). The print will be complete in September and I'm excited to see it complete!
This is a great project to commemorate this group, each dog will have its portrait and name on the print much like the Dogs Around the Lakes poster I create during the summer.

Upcoming events!

The 2009 Dogs Around the Lakes poster series will wrap up with Lake Nokomis on September 27th from 10am to 4pm. I highly recommend scheduling your ten minute free photo shoot before that weekend so that your pup gets his or her time with the camera. There is no cost to participate in the poster series and having a scheduled photo shoot means that we'll have more pictures in the pool of poster candidates! Only sixteen dogs are selected for the poster. Email me to schedule a time: sarah.lintu@gmail.com.

Woofstock, a dog celebration in Linden Hills, is September 12th from 10-3pm. Lintu Art will have a booth there with examples of my work and prints. Stop by my booth in the Famous Dave's parking lot!

Selby Jazz Fest is September 12th from 11-7pm at the intersection of Selby and Milton in St. Paul. This event is a little different from other events but I'm so excited to be over in St. Paul! I'm looking forward to some great music and people while at that event!

Final poster of 2009, Lake Nokomis

The Dogs Around the Lakes series for 2009 will wrap up with a final poster for Lake Nokomis. Marilyn and I are normally Lake Harriet or Calhoun walkers so it I am excited to get out to a lake that I don't otherwise explore! Think of all the new dogs and families I'll be able to meet! The photo shoot for this poster will be Sunday, September 27th from 10am to 4pm. I highly recommend scheduling a time slot with me so your dog can have a full session with the camera. You can RSVP by emailing: sarah.lintu@gmail.com. There is no fee for the photo shoot! Send an invite to dog lovers you know!

A little background about Dogs Around the Lakes: This project is an annual poster series specifically for the chain of lakes in Minneapolis (Calhoun, Harriet, Isles etc). One day is scheduled as the photo shoot and each beautiful dog receives a 5 minute session for free! Sixteen of the dogs are selected for the poster which takes about one month to create. When complete, everyone is invited for the unveiling where the pups receive treats and praise for their stardom. Posters are available for purchase but having a dog on the poster does not make purchasing a poster an obligation! This is a project to celebrate our dog friends!
