Here Comes Rusty!

We've started the editing process for this year's Art Book and we couldn't be more thrilled!

There are pictures of hounds who are still actively racing, some who have recently retired and are looking for homes, and others that hung up their racing silks years ago. 

We hope that you follow our updates as the book progresses.

Next week, we'll be releasing the list of 2012 Contributors.

Sad News

My husband & I said Good-Bye to Cruce yesterday, a week after  his 12th birthday.

We feel extremely lucky to have shared our lives with him.

Look What Followed Us Home From Florida

When most people travel, they buy a post card, or a T-shirt as a souvenir.

Not us.

We adopt a hound.

Please welcome Tosca to the Retired from Racing family.

Art Book 2012

Currently we're in the planning stages for the 2012 Retired from Racing not from Life Art Book.  

The deadline for art is April 30, 2012.  There's lots of time to think about what you would like to submit & be creative! 

The project specs are as follows:

Copyright of your images remains with you.  Artwork will not be used in any way without your permission (a consent form will be sent to you by email).  

There is no cost to participate.  

You can submit up to two images of your own original artwork (one will be chosen for the book).  

With each submission, please include:

• your name - as you want it printed in the book, 
• your website, blog, facebook address (it is not mandatory that you have one of the previously mentioned) and 
• the title of your art.   

Art must be high resolution -  at least 300 dpi. 

What's new for 2012:

• electronic version of the book will be available in addition to the hard copy.

• the Blurb for Good program has been discontinued by the publisher, but payments will still be sent to OSU's Greyhound Health & Wellness Program.

• due to time constraints we will not be asking for the "story behind the picture" or bios.

• we will be accepting art work featuring Greyhounds or their Sighthound cousins.

2012 Art Book

We will be publishing the Retired from Racing not from Life Art Book again this year.

Details on how you can submit art will be available on January 31, 2012.
