# Mini Clay Pooches Barclay Douglas Combines Bark and Clay in Print and Animation By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-03-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barclay-douglas References: [linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/in/barclaydouglas) & [barclaydouglas](http://barclaydouglas.com/) Artist Barclay Douglas has cleverly illustrated the idea of CMYK in this project. The project is 'Barclay,' because it combines 'Bark' and 'Clay.' Each of the very cute molded clay dogs represents a color in the designer's spectrum. Check out Barclay Douglas' site for more of his print work and illustrations. Soon, the 'Barclay' dogs will be animated, so keep an eye out for that as well. **Implications** - For many consumers, particular products or services cannot be integrated into a lifestyle due to a lack of time or financial means.
