Robb Putnam is an artist who creates large scale sculptures of cartoon-like dog heads and figures out of discarded materials. The Bark profiled his work in 2009 shortly after his graduation from the Mills College MFA program. Robb’s new work will be featured in the exhibition “Larger than Life: Exploring Scale in Contemporary Art” — June 2 through August 18, 2013 at the Bedford Gallery/Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, CA.

“Snap!” by Warsaw-based artist Michael Torzecki from his monochromatic paintings series “Cats & Dogs.”  We’d like these even if Torzecki hadn’t contributed 20 percent of the income from his most recent show to an animal shelter.
