Artist's Comment
About Me:
My name is Josiah Swaim, I am a self-taught digital artist. I started playing around with 3D modeling at around 10-11 years old when I wanted to add some "spice" to little video projects I was making. Around 12 years old I found Blender 3D and have been using it ever since. (I'm 21 years old now.)
About "Canada to Send First Pug into Space!"
I call it "Canada to Send First Pug into Space!" to make it sound like an absurd news article. The pug himself, however, is named Ace Gunpin, which is an anagram for Pug Canine. This project was a Christmas present for my girlfriend, who loves pugs and sci-fi, so I spliced them together.
