These paintings were done for a baby girl’s nursery room and each painting is a cartoon version of the family’s real dogs. Initially, the request was for paintings in retro mod style with bold graphics and shapes. The problem was that the whole nursery room was already on mod overload and I suggested that having a more sketchy, simple style for the paintings would balance the room out.
There are five dogs: Tilly, a foxy mutt; Pheobe, a sly beagle; Hei, a black mutt; Jon-Jon, a dopey Old English Sheepdog, and BoBo, another Old English Sheepdog. Shown below are Tilly, Jon-Jon, and Phoebe.

Hi there!, I`m a reader of 1up, EGM and everything that have a “videogame” word on it. This is how I get to know your work, it`s amazing!, I love the passion you give to all your beatiful pieces of art, how you change styles, combine colours and forms, the grunge mass of blacks blots and pixel logos. I think I`m a fan!! LOL, I`m a graphic designer too, a comic book artist, a musician, avideogame player and an animal lover/fan/admirer/protector from Argentina (a far far land to the south part of our unique wolrd).
By the way, my name is José Luis Gaitán =P
It seems you have a pupil here! =D, I see that artist like ourselfs have lot in common, so I don`t tell you any news here =), but anyway I want to say hello before I keep see your awsome works! keep yourself shinning!
bbay!, see you in space dinogirl!
