I’m Danxuan Ma, a illustrator based in China. I love dogs and I’m good at observing details in daily life. By exploring different painting materials and methods, and through different viewpoints, I zoom in on these details on canvas to draw diversified life scenes and express my different ideas and experiences.
Dogs Annoyances
Explore the different emotions of dogs through picture books. As a dog owner, I observe that dogs have a lot of different emotions, but sometimes I can't understand exactly what a dog is thinking, and these thoughts and emotions can easily be ignored or not understood by humans. I wanted to express some of the emotions I observed from a dog's point of view and add some of my own associations to create this picture book.
I created three dog characters, each describing their own troubles as three chapters of a story. These are all scenarios that are commonplace to humans, but may seem completely different from a dog's point of view.
The aim of the project is to make more people pay attention to the emotions of animals, instead of letting humans impose their own ideas on them. By treating animals as equal creatures to humans, especially dogs, who have a certain level of intelligence and a strong bond with humans, viewers can begin to notice animal emotions, animal rights, and respect those rights.
