Police K-9 Project
The Police K-9 Portrait Project is a personal project I am doing to honor police dogs around the country. Police have been in negative light in recent times and this project is my way to support police by utilizing the skills I have.
The goal is to go state by state, choosing 5-10 police dogs per state to hand draw in graphite with personalized frame, to be mailed to their respective departments. These portraits are gifts, donated free of charge. My only request, if possible, is for a photo of the portrait with the K-9 handler to be featured on my website and Facebook page as part of this project. This is a request, not an obligation, the portrait is a gift regardless and it is a pleasure in itself to have this opportunity.
Selection is highly based on availability of quality photos, something that unfortunately seems to be lacking for police dogs. This is why I am not able to take nominations or suggestions without first verifying the K-9 has usable photos. If you have suggestions from a department that has not been done, you are welcome to message my facebook page for consideration. Please be sure the photo is obtainable, without giving away the surprise!
I will be working my way through the different regions of the United States. Below you will find the groupings. I will work by clearing each group in the order shown below, though I may deviate between states within each group. Only once I get to the next group, will that page be created. If a group is not linked to a page, I have not yet made it to that group.
