William Wegman Shoots February Dog Cover for Nat Geo Magazine | National Geographic

in the fall I was invited by National
Geographic to try to illustrate a story
about the dog genome I started to work
on it and it became almost impossible to
stop every five minutes I thought of a
new dog I could make out of fabric paper
wire angles whatever but for that one
shot on a magazine that is really that
large have to had some sort of a a grab
to it it seemed that the strongest of
our ideas towards this was the sort of
poodle he won so more wig shopping was
was called upon and Penny was was the
one that we concentrated on she’s the
stillest in my opinion very pretty and
seemed to be able to pull this one off
it’s an interesting piece and I was
really excited about getting a chance to
to work on it
