of dogs, tequila and recipes
If you have ever enjoyed a margarita – or as I’ve recently discovered – a Mexican coffee remember to thank a bat. The lesser long nosed bat, yes the night flying critter, is very important to the pollination of plants that produce tequila. This bat’s health affects human culture and humans affect the bat. Fortunately the…

dog art book days
Recently I posted a video of me un-boxing proof copies of “Dogs by Sue Clancy” https://sueclancy.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/dogs-unboxed/ Overall I’m very pleased with the books printing, the binding and the way BookBaby https://www.bookbaby.com/ has done things.

why whimsical dog art
“So much is wrong with the world and here you are doing artwork of cute dogs and the occasional cats. Aren’t you denying reality, denying the power of protest art?” No, I am on purpose living well as a direct action against the bullies, abusive people and authoritarians. If I were to get upset and…

dog in the details
When I was a little kid I remember once telling my Grandmother “I’m bored.” She asked me to look for and find the smallest object in the house and bring it to her. After some time I found a safety-pin about 1/2 inch long and about 1/4 inch wide. She said “I’ll bet you can…

from sketchbooks to dogs
As you know from previous blog posts I was intending to publish another ebook of my recent sketchbook pages oriented around the saying “Stay close to anything that makes you glad to be alive”. I was even going to call it my “Glad to be Alive” sketchbook. It was going to have scenery, people, food/drink, books,…

going to the dogs
I’ve been asked “how do you get your ideas for your dog drawings?” I begin by thinking of something pleasant. This “something pleasant” has often been noted previously in one of my sketchbooks. The pleasantness can be a drink I enjoyed, a bowl of soup, a game, a book… anything I remember as being particularly…

Here’s a picture of me drawing a dog. If you want to see a close-up of the dog I’m drawing look for “Larry” on my dog portraits website page https://sueclancy.wordpress.com/dog-portraits/. Yes, as you see in the photo, I use brush and Sumi ink to do my dog drawings. The ink is quite permanent so it makes…

Sue draws dogs
I’ve kept sketchbooks for many years – and I have drawn dogs a lot. I sketch and draw in ink almost every day. Some time ago my wife Judy saw some of my dog drawings in my bound sketchbook and said “I really wish you’d do these on good paper.” The phrase ‘good paper’ in…
