The design of this charming little paper back, Feel Better Little Buddy, was inspired by homemade get-well cards.
It features home photos of injured pets, on their way to recovery, from the site Animals with Casts. The design uses scanned found papers, ribbons, and cut out patterns.
Although it’s sad that these little guys were hurt, they’ve all been cared for with love and in many instances pictured all better.
It’s a sad-funny book, meant to tug at heart strings, and be a comforting get-well gift for little buddies of all ages. Each spread was a uniquely created collage, like one get-well card at a time, with design help from Cat Grishaver.
Coincidentally, the little fella above is my “Dog Son” Pixel, who got an enormous cast on his leg after a luxating patella surgery. I took the photo on the right, showing him recovered and back to his happy camper mode.
