Pug-Replaced Pop Culture Art

These Cute Pug Illustrations by Gemma Correll are Hilarious

These Pug Illustrations by English artist Gemma Correll are both cute and entertaining. Her postcard-perfect prints showcase the world’s favorite designer dog in all manner of funny situations. Whether it’s clinging on for dear life to a morning cup of coffee with the catchphrase "Coffee, the most important meal of the day," or a sad little pug hanging off a branch with the motivational message "hang in there, baby," these illustrations are all hilarious.

For any fans of these eccentric doodles, Gemma will host her first Canadian exhibition in Toronto this May, which will be entirely dedicated to Pugs. Gemma is also the author of the delightful ‘A Pug’s Guide to Etiquette’ and ‘A Cat’s Life,’ which is dedicated solely to kittens.
