I want to make little paintings for the people who become part of my life.

This is a journal for me. Each dog is a chance to remember a person and the time when we got to know each other. I hope I'm still adding to it twenty years from now.

When a dog goes home with you, your name goes on his collar. You give him a name too. That first entry stays with him as his story continues.

I hope you'll keep him. Years from now, I'd like to look through this collection and remember a friend with each dog.

The drawings that would have been on the fridge.

All Dogs comes from the same childhood as HOLY, my collection about the photographs we lost. I wrote a program to paint the way a kid paints: a fat outline, paint running out mid-stroke, an eye a little wrong.

The paint is code.

I've been building a brush in code. Each bristle carries a finite amount of paint, picks up what's still wet and leaves a mark where it touches the surface. Long strokes run dry. I write each dog's composition into the painter: its face, clothes, pose and the world around it.
