End petlessness

Allan Sanders’ illustrations make me smile every time I see them. They are now used in the Oregon Humane Society’s End Petlessness campaign (it’s too bad they didn’t carry over the campaign to their web site). His illustration style reminds me of J. Otto Seibold and Roger la Borde but the charm in each ad is unique.

The billboards have been all around town since early this year and they’re just so darn cute that I hope they never take them down. There’s even a commercial that features Portland folk artist Laura Gibson’s song Hands in Pockets that was featured on the 2006 PDX Pop Now! compilation.

If this cuddly campaign doesn’t make you want to go get a furry creature of your own, then I don’t know what will.
