"Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog" is the theme of the 2003 Annual Humane Society for Seattle/King County Tuxes & Tails Auction & Ball.

One of my ways of giving back is to seek out ways my art can be used to further worthy causes. So, I created this image inspired by the Tuxes & Tails theme, (with a reference to Elvis's song & blue "suede" shoes), and donated it to the auction.

I used the many photos of my family's Basset Hounds as reference for the "Hound".
