I Created Matchboxes Featuring Different Dog Breeds With Complicated Human Personalities
Following the success of last year’s popular “Strike Your Fancy” matchboxes featuring cats drinking at the bar, I have released a follow-up set, this time with dogs! They aren’t getting drunk like their feline counterparts, but they do poke fun at the complicated personalities of us humans.
These matchboxes are printed by hand in my home studio using a custom-made registration jig. Each color is printed with oil-based intaglio ink using the unique woodblock printing process, which is illustrated in the video below. They even come with tiny certificates of authenticity that rest inside the matchbox tray!

When you're a pug and no one ever gave you anything except for breathing issues and you just want them to feel sorry for you

These remind me of the matchboxes my grandpa used to have back in the early 80s! Very cool!

For some reason I hear those captions in Stephen Fry's voice in my head...

There has been several requests for additional breeds. I'll add pitties to the list!

These were great! The French Bulldog is my favorite. "Don't tell me what to do" My sentiments exactly.
