The post White Coffee Cat Will Melt Your Heart appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>“The beginning of this journey was extremely heartbreaking,” his owner, Pookie Methachittiphan, relayed in an interview with Modern Cat. Adopted by Methachittiphan and her sister at only five months old, White Coffee’s beginning wasn’t easy.
Luckily, thanks to an early diagnosis, doctors could act quickly. “Coffee became very sick just one day after the diagnosis,” recalled Methachittiphan. “He didn’t show too many signs prior as we received a diagnosis quickly. We took him to see an oncologist immediately and started his first round of chemotherapy that same day.” The final rounds of chemotherapy were given to the cat once a month, the sisters were assured he was cancer-free.
Recent posts show him enjoying cuddles and kisses, as he looks adoringly to the camera. In some posts, he’s seen sporting funny costumes or fashionable sunglasses (a favorite of ours is his Harry Potter version).
“Coffee has taught us about strength and unity,” say the sisters. “He showed us how social media can bring the world together for a common purpose and taught us how love can break down barriers.” Join his ever-growing community online.

]]>The Chinese vlogger currently lives in Sri Lanka with her boyfriend, four dogs, and a wild boar named Yezhu. The wild baby was placed in a box and found by Ngai’s gardener. She and her boyfriend took the critter under their wing.
“We read online that she would need to be fed every hour, my boyfriend and I took turns sleeping in the living room with her for almost the first four weeks. Feeding her every hour when she wakes up and starts crying. It was really like taking care of a baby for us,” the vlogger said in an interview for Bored Panda.
Although they had some difficulties in the beginning the couple managed to bring up their new family member. Now Yezhu is a grown boar, who loves her dog siblings, has a little home and swimming pool just for her. You can see beautiful photos on the vlogger’s Instagram account, where she has gained more than 20,000 followers.

S Q U A D (@_sausage.squad_)According to Birch, she knew she wanted a Daschund early on, and later begged her parent to get one. Her first sausage pup, Missy, came into her life over 10 years ago.
Missy then went on to have two litters, and Birch kept a dog from each—Button and Duke. But then Duke found a girlfriend and they had their own litter, with Apple completing the squad.
Now all five dogs—Missy, Button, Duke, Ivy, and Apple—are living the life. Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, they amassed a huge following online, with fans who have grown obsessed with the cute pups and their journey.
But having a pampered squad comes at a price, and Birch admits to spending £800 a month on clothes, accessories, photoshoots, treats, toys, beds, blankets, food, and insurance: “They are worth every single penny,” she told Metro. And we can see why!

]]>“Most of my work is drawn by hand the old-school way, and painted patiently with watercolors and gouache,” she further relayed in an interview with Society6’s blog. “First layers are quite relaxed, but at the end I somehow find the patience to make all the tiny details and make my characters come to life. I do all the repeat patterns digitally in Photoshop or Illustrator.”
for this week & seems pretty long, but I can do it! Today I have stopped selling my Tiny Koala and Little Wallaby giclee prints and I am now doing all the calculations how much we’ve raised together minus taxes, expenses! And it is quite an amount I would say, so I am thinking about donating the profit to multiple organizations instead of just one, because Wires can only help in the NSW Area. I will of course write to everyone who purchased the print to confirm and hear their opinion
I am super proud of everyone and I’ll keep you posted via stories regarding everything related to my initiative. PS: this blanket can be ordered through my @society6 
Happy week everyone! 
#artist #art #artsy #studio #dog #todo #sketching #coloringbook #happy #creative #doodle #draw #etsy #etsyseller #drawing #artist #illustrator #illustration“I love creating animal characters,” she adds. “In my body of work, they are mostly coming from a woodland environment—that is because I draw things that are close to me and I can see in person if I am lucky,” she notes.
Based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, her artwork is featured on products like enamel pins, notebooks, coloring books, notepads, and greeting cards, with her clients including brands like Papyrus, Little Blue Nest, Craft Consortium, Lilipinso, and Lake Coloring. Besides commercial work, Stajner enjoys self-initiating projects where she collaborates with other artists, experiments, and challenge herself further.
“The world around me inspires me very much,” says Stajner. “While I work, I love to stylize them, make them more simple and less realistic. But then I want to add so many details that they appear alive again. Like they actually exist somewhere in the world. Oh, what a happy place that would be.”
A happy place it is.
. Happy Friday friends!

Let’s all hide in out little dens, so we will soon have fun together again
and only taking @loti_thecavie to the woods very early in the morning. We’re taking this pandemic very seriously and staying safe.
Confession: I never continued doing #marchmeetthemaker challenge…mostly because I felt talking about myself became irrelevant, during these times. Continuing that I would felt ignorant, and not honest – because in all honesty my head was completely somewhere else. 
I am thinking about how the doctors here are heroes and I am truly grateful for their willingness to help 
2020 Calendars are now 20% OFF (only around 30 pieces left) & also Coloring Books (which I also only have around 50).
I’ve discounted both of the products because I know you love them both 
Honestly the stock is running pretty low and I need to make some new products pretty fast 
. I already have some ideas but it will take time. Until than I will of course share what I’m up to! I hope to be better at social media in 2020 
Cleaning my studio today and having 20% OFF on everything in my Etsy shop this weekend to make room for new items that will be printed in the upcoming weeks 
. No code is needed as all the prices have already been reduced. And to make this even more exciting each order will get a free B-grade pin (with minor mistakes). Just add a note to your order and let me know which pin you’d like

! What are your traditions apart from collecting Easter eggs? I am not a huge fan of all the traditional Easter dishes we have here, except horseradish which I kinda like. It is similar to wasabi 
. All the heavy wallnut roll (potica), ham etc. is really not my jam! 
Easter is to me more about the long weekend and spending time with my family. The post The Whimsical Woodland Critters of Nina Stajner appeared first on PlayJunkie.

Another one of my all time favourite animals! Had a lot of fun making this one, took me a while to get it how I like. Hope you guys like it too 
#animal #nature #illustration #drawing #instart #art #digital #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #cartoon #character #design #characterdesign #wildlife #caricature #procreate #ipadpro #character #crocodile #australia #saltwatercrocodile #reptile #conservationAccording to Yes, I’m a Designer, Tonks’ inspiration for drawing animals and wildlife originates from watching nature documentaries, such as David Attenborough’s Planet Earth and Blue Planet. His creative process includes spending a lot of time sketching in small thumbnails size. According to Tonks, drawing in small scale gives him creative freedom to work out a composition, shape, proportions, silhouette, and everything else that comes into character illustration.
Using a digital practice (mainly ProCreate), he creates his characters through a series of mark making to add texture and body. Understanding the animals’ anatomy is also important — a practice which he learned through animal observations, as well as studying other illustrators.
Tonks then exaggerates certain features or parts of the animal anatomy, adding an ounce of “wonkiness” to his finished creations (which makes them all the more delightful). According to him, having a distinguishable silhouette is key in character illustrations.
Take note:
World Whale Day reminds us of the challenges we face across all of our planets oceans. Annually, on the third Sunday in February, we take a look at these majestic giant creatures. Whales throughout our history have been impacted by human involvement. For centuries they have been hunted for their meat and now face pollution and habitat loss. I decided to illustrate the iconic Sperm Whale. Known famously from the tale 'Moby Dick', these amazing creatures were hunted extensively throughout the 19th century for their oils. Now protected by the International Whaling Commission, it is hopeful that these incredible animals are now recovering in numbers. If we are to keep not only our ocean giants but all marine life, conservation for our planets oceans is more important than ever. The oceans sustain the lives of more than 1 billion people, an incredibly diverse ecosystem, regulates our Earth's climate and produces half the oxygen we breathe. Taking better care of our oceans requires all of us to be on the same team.

I've been watching alot of documentaries recently, especially some classic Steve Irwin adventures. I was thinking about making some zines to sell. Who would be interested? Was thinking of doing some more reptiles. 30% of the proceeds would got to a wildlife charity in aid of conservation. I'm selling some prints ATM in which I'm donating 30% of the profits to @australiazoo for their efforts in rescuing the local wildlife, including this one. Thank you to those who have bought one.

]]>Sushi is not only popular on Instagram, but she’s also a TikTok content creator with over 1.4 million fans who follow her on a daily basis. This dog loves to make people laugh and, according to her owners, she has quite an interesting personality. They say their pet is intelligent, sensitive, and very expressive. And they, of course, emphasize that her ears are “vegan, non-toxic & dog-friendly.”
www.modsla.com . 
: @dogtographer.la“She is also very particular about her wants and needs. Example #1 – she loves cheese but will only eat ‘real’ cheeses. She refuses to eat American, processed, or Krafts cheese. Example #2 – she loves pistachios and almonds but will not eat them unless you chew them up for her first. She wants everything done a certain way,” Sushi’s owner said to Hello Bark.
Sushi is a great doggy model with a unique attitude and the most expressive eyes we’ve seen lately. If you don’t believe us, just take a look at these heartwarming photos of her below.

]]>The post Dog Brings Baby Animal Home — Turns Out It’s a Bear Cub appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>The poor cub was found in pretty bad shape, dehydrated and underweight. Luckily, the orphaned animal was instantly transported to the Wildlife Center of Virginia where the entire team worked hard to help him. As he weighed only 540g (about 1.2 lb), the cub was put into an incubator and the staff made sure to bottle-feed him the entire time.
“It’s a great example of all of us working together to provide what a wild animal needs most!” Amanda Nicholson, the director of outreach at the Wildlife Center, told Bored Panda.
Don’t worry, because this story has a happy ending! The black bear cub recovered in no time and the Wildlife Center has found him a foster family. The cub is now out in the wild, with his new mom and siblings who will look after him.
Nicholson stated that this situation is not that unusual and that the Wildlife Center has received wild animals before.
“It is fairly common for us to receive wild animals that have been picked up by pets, but it’s uncommon that they are uninjured. Sadly, we see a significant number of injured wildlife from free-roaming housecats, and dogs will also often disturb nests of some ground-dwelling wildlife,” she said.
Before we say goodbye to this little guy, make sure to take a look at these heart-warming videos below.

]]>Her designs feature mainly Vizslas but not exclusively. “We do love creating gorgeous illustrated dog collections but more importantly support people who work to rescue and re-home Vizslas,” reads Trotting Dog’s website. Her products might feature Spike, her Hungarian Vizsla, or Milo a rescue Vizsla cross who joined the pack last year after being rescued from the streets of Cyprus. “As a result, we want to give a little back to help other gingers find loving homes too,” she writes.
All printed in house and tested by the pack 
.. .. #personalised #personalisedgifts #lovedogs #totebag #cushion #handprinted #independentmaker #vizsla #perfectgift #christmasgiftsHer business was founded in 2017 after Marianne crowdfunded and self-published a children’s book featuring illustrations of Spike. Her drawings became so popular she decided to create lots more cards and personalized gifts for dog lovers. Now, Marianne hand prints her designs herself on mugs, bags, cushion covers, and prints.
“The beauty of being a creative today is that I really can personally connect with my customers and design things using their feedback and ideas,” she shared with the Printed blog. “I love that I am part of a global pack of dog lovers which the internet and social media has opened up. As a bit of a late starter, I am 47 and solo parent my kids, working in the creative industry from home with an online business has been completely accessible.”

]]>The post Japanese Bakery Makes the Most Adorable Corgi-shaped Bread Buns appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>The bakery recently updated their menu and made it cuter by offering Corgi butt-shaped bread buns to its clients. You’ve probably seen, if not in person then at least on photos, how cute these dogs look from behind, especially when they stretch out their legs behind them.
Well, Utiwapayna bakery was so moved by this breed’s cuteness, that they turned it into an interesting business idea. Not only did they perfectly capture Corgi’s shapely buns with the addition of their cute short legs and signature bobtail, but the buns also look very tasty! They’re filled with jam or custard, which makes them pretty much perfect!
This is not the first time for Utiwapayna bakery to make a creative move like this. They’ve been selling puppy-shaped bread loaves and cat-shaped buns for years now. But considering the fact that Corgis are very popular in Japan, we can only guess that this is going to be their most popular baked good so far. So if you ever happen to be in Sapporo, Japan, stop by for a cute and delicious bite of these unusual buns.

]]>The post Jason Lyons Creates Organic Sculptures Using Reclaimed Materials appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>“Creations from man-made objects discarded as refuse and reinterpreted to form objects found in nature are the inspirations for my art,” he states on his website. “The simple spoon forms the body of a rainbow trout; a discarded children’s toy becomes the foundation for a moose; horseshoes transform into armadillos.”
Consisting of primarily wood or metal, the reclaimed objects are transformed from their mechanized human intentions into organic figures found in nature. “I look for these shapes buried within objects,” Lyons further explained in a piece he wrote for Artsy Shark. “I then utilize these shapes and reinterpret them into the anatomical structures that make up the organic sculptures I create.”
According to Lyons, through his inherent passion for the discarded object, he has developed a unique perspective and talent to visually dissect, reinterpret and then repurpose the materials found in his sculptures. “I look for the potential in every object to be a valuable contributor to the sculptures I create,” he says.
Because, ultimately, who’s to say if a spoon handle isn’t actually a bird’s wing waiting to take flight?
