We adopted Sarawat from the Soi Cat and Dog (SCAD) Foundation. SCAD has decided to publish a 2011 calendar as a fundraising tool ... and guess who is Miss May?
Tul Suwannakit, a popular illustrator of children's books here in Thailand, did 12 portraits of SCAD alumni for the 2011 calendar. Unbeknownst to us, Sarawat was one of his subjects. He must have painted her from a picture they took of her back in early 2008, based on shocking state of her hairdo. Khun Tul gave an interview to the Bangkok Post recently to discuss the project, saying, "The word 'dog', to me, is very universal in the sense that they're all the same, regardless of their appearance or breed. They are all equally lovely, loyal and lovable."
You can see all of Khun Tul's portraits here, and you can buy your own SCAD 2011 calendar, greeting cards, or limited edition print of Sarawat here.
