New Ornate Ink Portraits of Lovable Dogs<br />

by Alex Konahin<br />

Graphic artist and illustrator Alex<br />

Konahin (previously here and<br />

here) has just finished a new illustration-based<br />

project centered<br />

around the subject of seriously<br />

detailed dogs. The Latvia-based<br />

artist is known for his highly decorative<br />

style which he illustrates<br />

in each of his drawn subjects, a<br />

trait that is exemplified in the ornate<br />

fur of the included animals.<br />

Konahin’s series was inspired by<br />

no inspiration at all, the works<br />

coming from a time when Konahin<br />

was going through an intense<br />

creative block after a long break<br />

from his personal creative work.<br />

Konahin’s first portrait in the<br />

series was of an English Bulldog,<br />

and after liking the result,<br />

followed that piece up with a<br />

German Shepherd and Pit Bull<br />

Terrier.
