Bugsy: Dog Photo Art

Dog photo artI recently got my friend Gina to send me some of her favorite photos of her dog, Bugsy, so that I could give the photos my "digital watercolor" treatment. Here are the before and after results of my "dog photo art".

Are you up for "the treatment" too? Cats, dogs, budgies, goldfish, rug rats, mom, dad, boyfriends, girlfriends, favorite vacation pictures. And yes, I could even put lipstick on your pig if you want!

Just imagine the possibilities: Christmas and birthday preents, Christmas cards, invitations, anniversary gifts, your profile picture at Facebook, etc.

Whatever it is, send me your pictures, and for $25 per picture, I'll turn it into a work of art for you.

For an additional $10 per image, I will color-profile the image file and upload it to a private gallery at Imagekind where you can have it printed by the pros with a wide range of art papers and print sizes to choose from, framed or not.

If you have enough pictures and would like me to also turn your pictures into a video like you can see on the video section of my website, then ask me about pricing. I use music that is licensed so everything is "kosher". I can also put the video on YouTube for you to share with your friends and family.

You can make payment through your PayPal account, or a credit card through PayPal. You must of course own the copyright for any pictures you send me. Just send me the files straight from your camera. It's best if you don't do anything with them - leave that to me.

So check out the before and after pictures of Bugsy, and email me your pictures if you want to have your own photos turned into similar works of art.

You can also see more examples of my digital watercolors here.

Samoan Youth

The Active Seniors Collection: Ollie Grandpa and Heart Granny

Ollie Grandpa — © John Corney The whole spirit of retirement, done right, is this: after a long working life, you finally have time to do the things you always wanted to. Not everyone slows down when they retire. Some people speed up. Some people get on a skateboard for the first time at 68, or ride a motor scooter through the city just because they've earned the right to, or start showing up to family gatherings in outfits that require sunglasses. That's the spirit I wanted to capture in my Active Seniors series — a collection of cheerful illustrations celebrating older people who have decided, quite firmly, that they're not done yet. Meet Ollie Grandpa Ollie Grandpa is the piece above — a spirited older man catching serious air on his skateboard, silver hair flying, a flower-adorned helmet keeping him sensible, a striped scarf trailing behind him because scarves in the wi...
Cool Granny in Her Austin A35 — © John Corney 2026 This one has a real backstory, and I'd like to tell it properly. An Auckland Sighting On one of my annual visits home to New Zealand, I was walking through central Auckland — at the corner of Queen Street and Karangahape Road (K Road, as everyone calls it) — when a small yellow car went past me and stopped me mid-stride. It was a beautifully kept Austin A35, one of the little British runabouts that were everywhere in New Zealand when I was growing up in the fifties and sixties. Driving it was a woman of a certain age with the confident bearing of someone who had been driving that same car, or one like it, for decades. She looked entirely at home behind the wheel. She belonged to the car and the car belonged to her, and neither of them was in any hurry to change. If you know Auckland, that particular corner will register: Queen Stree...
