I’m sorry, but I just wanna say–bad typography sank that damned thing, but the artwork is darling. I’d buy that in a heartbeat, if the typography hadn’t torpedoed it.
(Folks, this, unlike my font rant and meltdown of the last 24 hours, is why hiring actual, real-live, breathing DESIGNERS matters!)
I have a three-year-old. Her response was, “I think it’s cool.” Of course, she loves dogs and everything to do with them, so she might not be an unbiased observer.

I think it would be an interesting painting for an adult audience. I also think that for its intended audience, it’s hella disturbing. I also think you really need to switch to decaf.
Honestly, the type aside, I think if they eyes were more along the lines of a cartoon – with whites and a but more friendly expression- yes, the art would have been wonderful.

I like the art a lot! The cover is only ruined by the bad typography. Otherwise it might have been really charming!
You see, Nathan?! Nyah, nyah, nyah, Ron agrees with ME! That’s because he likes me best. Not to mention my superior taste in graphics.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAH….(God, I really need my annual year-end break. My mind is going.)

Decaf is for…well, you know. 😉
Aww, you’re just prettier, that’s all.
LOL. God, I certainly hope so. (Wait…I think that came out in a way I truly didn’t intend…)
I took a look at the “Look Inside” on Amazon. I have to admit that I am kind of impressed by the one and only sample illustration…
