We are currently featuring the work of Ron Finley, who's dog Charlie, died at the end of August. His book, "Shaggy Dogs Story" is now available world-wide in bookstores and on-line as a fine-art paperback and as a signed, hardbound limited edition exclusively at the Shaggy Dogs website
“Shaggy Dogs Story” by Ron Finley is a fine-art novel published by Andrews McMeel, that uses over a hundred and thirty intricately produced photographs to document the satirical tale of two smart dogs on a global quest for their true destiny. The dogs’ adventures begin in an evil European circus, continue through the New York art scene and on to such unlikely places as Tibet, Mexico and ultimately France (dogs in the Louvre!) and Italy with a series of revelations about Renaissance dogs.
Ron Finley began his “Shaggy Dogs Story” to be a satirical graphic novel about the New York Art world in the 1980’s. But by the time he was done, he had written a globe-trotting, humorous saga about a couple of smart dogs who quest for their true destiny. In the book, we meet humorous dogs from all over the world, French dogs, Italian dogs, Mexican dogs, Hollywood dogs, and even a few dogs from the Renaissance. Dog humor has been a specialty of Ron Finley, in his writings for television shows, movies, and TV commercials and his photographic dog imagery for all the above. Ron Finley has just finished the story line for his sequel to Shaggy Dogs Story, in which we meet Leonardo da Vinci. Finley has grand plans for a series of humorous dog graphic novels, using his unique blend of photo-realism and computer-generated imagery.
