Synopsis

"Sure to bring a smile to your face is Pets Rock..." ―Houston PetTalk
Let's be honest, who doesn't think that there is a star with human traits in his four-legged friend? In Pets Rock these fantasies now become reality just with the help of a sure instinct and a lot of love for detail. Here the guinea pig becomes the imposing ruler Julius Caesar, the mouse the rock star in a shrill costume like David Bowie or Lady Gaga or the French bulldog the designer with the attitude of Karl Lagerfeld. Or do you have a cat interested in fashion at home? Or even a dog with political ambitions? No matter what you see in your pet, Pets Rock delivers the most exciting and flashy animal portraits that will make you smile. Let yourself be enchanted and amazed by digital illusions.

Text in English, German and French.

About this title

About the Author

Launched in 2008, the award winning brand Pets Rock is a striking play on our enduring fascination with pets and the cult of celebrity. The old adage that People look like their pets led to the creation of characters that brought this saying to life. Its creators, Mark and Kate Polyblank, are a London based photography and design partnership. The characters are created by photographing pets, then drawing every other part of the image. That s everything else hair, clothes, make-up, props. It s all drawn by hand to create a unique work of art. The Pets Rock brand is taking its name literally as its unique humour and style spreads around the globe where they have found fans barking mad for these furry friends. With over 80 characters in the Pets Rock world and many more waiting to be let off the leash you re never far from one of our pop culture pets. www.petsrock.co.uk
