ABOUT KEVIN MCCORMICK
Inspired by a militant Weimaraner named “Cody,” Kevin McCormick started combining propaganda art with heroic portraits of dogs. The designs which make tongue in cheek social and political commentary, represent the passion and loyalty that many dog “owners” have for their breeds.

The artist has (or serves, as he puts it) 2 Vizslas and a 1 year old baby.
A Rutgers College grad Kevin is now a web designer and computer illustrator.

They also design and stock political propaganda posters, and many more. Check them all out.
