A vibrant collection of bright, happy art sure to please any pop art lover! Seeing Russo's early work is interesting; his later use of color and pattern is there to a lesser but recognizable degree. A lovely book to spend an afternoon with.

I have always loved Dean Russo's work as I love and adore animals and his dedication to animal welfare. His works are sunny and bright and a colour explosion and any pet lover would love this book and want to rip out and frame the paintings. (I know I do). Looking for a perfect gift for a dog or cat lover? This is it.
