The Art of Book Design: The Dog’s Grand Dinner Party


Jack found out that last week was Cat Week and he’s pissed. He reminded me that we don’t even have a cat anymore and tersely noted that I should have made it dog week. He also said that I got this gig because of him and that I should be more grateful.

Ahem… Sorry Bubba. Allow me to present to you DOG WEEK. Let’s start with a party to celebrate.

    (My cockatiel is on my shoulder, I’m telling her not to get her hopes up. :D)
