Blue Dog Journal [Spiral-bound]

George Rodrigue (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 2000 | Series: Journal

George Rodrigue has described Blue Dog as the perfect vehicle for his creative energies. Now Blue Dog invites you to record your own thoughts in this special blank book.

Half the pages are ruled for writing and half are blank for sketching and drawing; many are embellished with the artist's sketches of his wildly popular icon. A thick center-divider contains a cut-out of Blue Dog's unmistakable silhouette, for those who might want to experiment with their own canine creations. For added inspiration, Rodrigue's thoughts on art, life, and creativity are interspersed throughout the pages.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

People has called Rodrigue's blue dog paintings "the hottest fad in popular art since Walter Keane's big-eyed waifs in the 1960s." Folks like Hillary Rodham Clinton and Whoopi Goldberg collect blue dogs, and now images of the adorable little pooch are available to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute cards, September 11, 2000

Great package. I was disappointed with the choice of prints as none of the 5 show Blue Dog in her entirety. Only on the cover of the box do you see all her legs. I heard that the 2001 calendar has been cancelled because of Rodrigue's disgust with the reselling of his stuff on online auctions. These note cards are selling on ebay for over $50 to people that don't know to check amazon.com first. Posters that are still readily available online (Friendship) are selling on ebay for 5 times what they retail for. Always check amazon.com first!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LITTLE WORKS OF ART, August 11, 2000

By

This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)

I really like these notecards - weird thing is - i didn't buy them to use them as notecards, but to frame them as a small little series. They look great - the colors are extremely vivid and the pictures placed as a series will brighten up any room.

The box that the cards come in is also useful - it's a sturdy little box that i throw all my change in

5.0 out of 5 stars Add to your Blue Dog collection, September 15, 2000

This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)

Well, I am glad that I can finally afford to have Blue Dog in my home! I am a big Blue Dog fan, but can't afford gallery prices of Rodrigue's silkscreens. So these cute little cards will soon be framed and on my walls. Like the other reviewer, I just can't part with them to use them as notecards. I love the sturdy little box they come in as well.

And many thanks to reviewer Rob, who lets us know that the Friendship poster can be found for online ordering! Ordered mine this morning!
