Living Up to the Nickname: The Art of the Sausage Dog Heist

Posted

There are certain universal truths about Dachshunds. They are stubborn, they have selective hearing, and their entire lives revolve around the acquisition of snacks.

We call them "Sausage Dogs" or "Wiener Dogs" because of their shape, but anyone who has owned one knows the nickname runs deeper than that. It's a lifestyle.

Capturing the Chaos

As an artist (and a fan of dogs with big personalities), I wanted to create a piece that took that nickname literally. I didn't just want a cute portrait of a Dachshund sitting still—because, let's be honest, that rarely happens.

I wanted to capture the pure, chaotic joy of a successful heist.

About This Piece

This digital painting, which I call the "Sausage Dog Bandit," features a triumphant Doxie in mid-stride. He has managed to secure what appears to be his own body weight in sausages, and the look on his face isn't guilt—it's pure victory.

I focused on the details that define the breed: the flapping ears, the determined little legs, and that specific spark of mischief in the eyes. It's a tribute to the fact that despite their small size, they have huge personalities and an even bigger appetite.

The Perfect Kitchen Companion

This design is meant to bring a laugh to anyone who knows the struggle of keeping food out of reach of a determined low-rider.

I have made this piece available on my Redbubble shop. It makes for hilarious kitchen decor (perhaps a subtle warning to guard your own sausages), and it looks fantastic on aprons, mugs, stickers and t-shirts. Anywhere, anyhow you want to show off your Doxie love!

If you have a friend who is obsessed with their Wiener dog, this is the perfect gift that says, "I get it."

Before and After: Two Joshua Tree Photographs, Two Painterly Reworkings

Posted
I want to try something a little different in this post — a working walk-through of how two of my Joshua Tree photographs from April of 2011 became two of my newest painterly artworks on Redbubble. Same compositions, same landscape, same afternoon in the Mojave. Very different final pieces. The Raw Photographs Both photographs were taken on a single afternoon trip to Joshua Tree National Park, shot in Canon raw (.CR2) format on my Canon EOS. Raw files are, as any photographer knows, deliberately flat — they carry the maximum amount of information the sensor recorded, without any of the punchy contrast, saturation, or sharpening that a JPEG would apply automatically in-camera. That flatness is a feature: it gives the photographer the widest possible latitude to make choices in post-processing. But it also means a raw file, straight out of the camera, doesn't look like the scene the eye remembers. It looks like the scene the sensor saw, drained of atmosphere. Here are the two r...

The Active Seniors Collection: Ollie Grandpa and Heart Granny

Posted
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...
