LonelyDog

The Story of Lonely Dog: The World of Alveridge is a rich and vivacious fantasy world where cats and dogs live together in Port Alveridge. A curious sophisticated world, segregated yet all inclusive, with a warm 1950’s vibe with rich vibrancy and texture that will remind you of the glory days gone by. The story relates Lonely Dog’s moving journey through life as a houndling who was abandoned on the Houndside Orphanage steps. All “snout and ears” in the beginning, he is a loner bullied by other orphan houndlings who nickname him “Lonely.” He emerges ultimately as a dapper, pin-stripe suited rocker with wing-tipped shoes and a gift for music — ultimately creating a name for himself as a legendary virtuoso. As the pup grows up in the whimsical world of Alveridgea where cats and dogs inhabit a segregated society, the story builds into a sophisticated world with twists, metaphors and social parallels with outrageous notions and ideologies with a whole range of paranormal ideas. About the Art: The paintings, drawings, and sculptures of the Lonely Dog World pull the viewer into world of Alveridge while depicting various scenes of the contrasting lifestyles of Felines and the working-class Alveridgean Houndsfolk.
