Indian Street Dogs is a new illustration that celebrates the street dogs of India, in appreciation of the hard work done by individuals and groups to improve their quality of life.
Thank you to Jessica Haltzman from Delhi, The Street Dog Foundation for suggesting that I create a print to show the beauty of Indian Street Dogs. You can buy this print (11″x14″ size, signed, $30) from Delhi, The Street Dog Foundation - proceeds will go towards the rescue work that they do. Link to Delhi Dogs website.
TO ORDER, please email: [email protected]
Thank you also to Aditi Joshi in Mumbai whose recall training with street dogs is inspiring and heartwarming. Aditi was my consultant on this poster about the body types and colors of common street dogs, and she pointed out details to me that I wasn’t aware of before. (eg, the half-moon notch on the ears of neutered/spayed dogs) Link to Aditi Joshi’s GoFundMe for Street Dogs
My drawings in this print are based on Jessica’s and Aditi’s streeties :)
Good News
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Adithi yelled at the phone as if it could hear her or stop ringing by voice command alone. She plucked up the landline from the receiver and made sure she sounded as warm and hospitable as possible.
"Thank you for calling the Joshi residence, this is Adithi speaking, how may I help you?"
The other line was quiet for a moment and her brow furrowed in confusion. Had the caller hung up already? Before she could repeat her greeting, a familiar voice finally spoke up.
"Hey, sorry, as soon as I dialed something came up."
"Ah, Vikkie, so nice for you to call," A big smile crossed Adithi's face immediately. It was always a treat when her only child called out of nowhere. "Do you need something, meri jaan?"
"I've got huge news, mama, I'm hoping you're gonna freak as much as I think you are."
"Uh huh, tell me then, so I may 'freak' over it."
Vikram went quiet again. There was a little shuffling, the clink of metal on metal. Finally, he piped up again, his voice soft.
"... He said he loves me back."
