About Speakerdog!
Who is Speakerdog!?
Speakerdog is the super and social illustrated character first penned (or shall we say pencilled) by Ben The Illustrator almost 5 years ago! Speakerdog is a mascot for the environment, he likes to make people feel good, to offer up words of happiness and kindness, spread love and positive environmental messages! He's no wuss though, Speakerdog is a freedom fighter! He wants the world to be fair and equal, for everyone to speak up and get the best out of life and have bucket loads of fun while doing it!
Where will I see Speakerdog?
Speakerdog loves to travel and pops his smiley face up all over the place. He has his paws in a number of pies at once and to date has appeared in several books, group and solo exhibitions around the globe from London to Japan. He's been seen on a t-shirt or two, belts, stickers, custom sneakers the list just goes on and on, just how he likes it.
Speakerdog is proud as punch to have a colouriffic range "World Lovin' Posters", postcards, badges and hand-made plush toys. Speakerdog is at the centre of yet another great creative project, the Speakerdog Paper Toys project. A brilliant project, that has so far, involved over 150 artists and designers from around the globe each of them customising a blank Speakerdog template and creating over 180 designs that are available to everybody to download for free!

Who is this 'Ben The Illustrator' you speak of?
Ben the Illustrator (aka Ben O'Brien) is a super illustrator/designer based in the UK. Ben works along side his wife Fi (aka Fi The Imaginator) who has an advertising background which has caused her to have an untamed addiction to ideas! Together they operate as an independent boutique design and illustration studio, immersing themselves in many things at once, from advertising and editorial commissions through to illustrations for interiors, illustration/design tutorials, and of course their very own range of art prints, posters and homewares under the brand Wish You Were Here (see the "About WYWH" for more details! It's hard to keep track of what these two are up to next, so be sure to tune in to them via their sites..
