Style 01 of 06
Modern
Flat colour, confident shapes, a lot of negative space. It reduces a pet to the few marks that actually identify them, which is why it survives being printed small.

Six pets, one style
The style is fixed; the result is not. Coat colour, ear shape and snout length change what comes back, so each of these is unmistakably Modern and unmistakably a different animal.
Nori
Blue merle border collie
T-shirt · one pet
A merle coat reduces to three flat greys, and the wall-eye stays because it is what his owner recognises first. At chest size it still reads across a room.
Zip
Border terrier
Framed print · one pet
Wire hair becomes a few deliberate spikes. Framed at 4:5 the negative space around him is doing as much work as the marks are.
Stan
Boston terrier
11oz ceramic mug
Pale muzzle, dark mask, nothing in between — which is exactly the contrast that survives being wrapped around a cylinder.
Nadia
Samoyed
Throw pillow
All that white coat becomes one shape with two ears. Printed on a cushion it reads as a silhouette before it reads as a dog.
Tilly
Cocker spaniel
Phone case
The longest ears in the set, deliberately cropped by the case edge — the style is happy to let an ear run off the frame.
Bramble
English springer spaniel
Framed print · lifestyle
Printed a metre wide, the flat areas stay flat. No gradient banding across a wall, which is the whole reason this style is offered as art.
