Some #dogbooks I read in the past year. Which of these have you read?

1. "The Invention of the Modern Dog" by #MichaelWorboys is THE book on how #dogbreeds were created in Victorian Britain. Read the sequel #DoggyPeople, too.

2. #Dogopolis by historian, #ChrisPearson. Human-dog relations in 19th century European cities. Not a fun read! Their blog: sniffingthepast.wordpress.com

3. "What Is A Dog?" by #RaymondCoppinger, on #VillageDogs as the original, no-breed, generic dogs of the world.

4. "Breeding Better Dogs" by #PhillipSponenberg is very technical & written for dog breeders (not me). Helpful for understanding breeding-related concepts.

5. #SOSDog by Johan & Edith Gallant. A classic on #landraces. Important food for thought. Many years ago, Edith sent me photos of #Africanis dogs as drawing reference.

6. "How Dogs Work" by Raymond Coppinger. For the chapter on #predatorymotorpatterns.

7. #Dogland by @tommyltomlinson just came out and I read it on the plane coming home from Europe. It's funny and optimistic; kind of like #BestInShow" (the movie) in non-fiction book form.

8. "A Dog's History of America" by #MarkDerr is not an easy read. The making of the USA has been cruel and violent & dogs get dragged into it.

9. #GreyhoundNation by #EdmundRussell looks at the changing niches and phenotype of the British Greyhound. Important note: Breeds change as societies change.

10. "Pit Bull" by @bdickey81 Bronwen Dickey. How we perceive dog breeds, how we label them and talk about them are inseparable from social-cultural prejudices and privileges. An important way to look at dog breed history.

11. #EmpireofDogs by #AaronSkabelund - very academic look at how Japanese dog breeds were created & promoted around WW2 to represent purity, patriotism, and imperialistic ideas. Another piece on how dogs, people, and politics are connected.

12. #CanisAfricanis by Larry Sittert and Sandra Swart. A good chapter on South African breeds & who/what they represent. (The author gifted me with this book for which I am grateful!)

Huevember Day 1: PopCross Studios Okay, I'm restarting Huevember because I wasn't happy and I needed to make some tweaks (and fix some minor errors I couldn't unsee). So to reiterate what I said in the first post, this year I'm drawing YouTube artists; I've tried to allocate the hue I most associate with each one, which was challenging considering there were multiple artists I associate with particular colours, and some colours I don't associate with any. I'm also trying to match their avatar whenever possible, and draw them in my style, which I'm pushing very slightly towards realism. So far it's a nerve-racking endeavour, since I want to do them justice, and not be unflattering. So day one is @chrispearson AKA PopCross Studios, and although I've only recently subscribed, I'm a big fan of mashups and crossovers, so it's the kind of content I like to see. I'm not going to go in depth into the hues this year, but this is a colour between capri and azure on the colour wheel, making it slightly closer to cyan than blue. It's located at 204° #huevember #day1 #hue #colour #art #drawing #portrait #digitalart #illustration #cartoon #caricature #blue #azure #capri #cyan #feraldoodle #aldoink #feralhuedle #krita https://www.instagram.com/p/B4su4vCDDdd/?igshid=olsbizw1v0ud
