My Dog is Kinda Rude

I have had the pleasure to work with writer Azure Moyna on the beautiful project born out of the creativity and funny moments shared by her and her daughter when thinking about pets.

"My Dog is Kinda Rude" is an engaging collection of observations of the four legged best friends in our lives, written in verse.

One of the most exciting challenges I have had with this project was creating a universally lovable and goofy character that embodies the spirit of a dog pet in today's society.

I have designed the spreads as carefree, airy "moments" that do not necessarily follow a chronological order but rather present fun, ridiculous situations. These can happen at any time during our day to day life with pets and are not necessarily perceived as "finite".

In order to match the tone of voice and theme, I have used exaggerated perspectives, and added a cartoony twist to my usual style.

Bubbly and bright colors as well as expressive loose forms and action lines were favored instead of realism, in order to appeal to a wide range of audiences and enhance the goofy factor.
