This extremely charming image shows a King Charles Spaniel, presented in collage. The shape and character of the dog are immediately apparent, despite the use of unusual collage elements.

The observer can enjoy not only the dog, but also be drawn into examining the myriad details of the maps and other materials used in the collage, presenting several layers of interest.

Using hand-made art collage, this piece has several layers to offer the viewer. Of course, at first glance you have this scrappy Boston Terrier, with expressive eyes and perky ears, looking for his master or waiting for a ball to be thrown. The next layer is in the pieces used for the collage, which reveal a mixture of fascinating patterns. A street map contributes to the dog's back, letters from a magazine adorn his ears, yet they blend so well into the whole.

Using maps, dials and other snippets of paper, the collared neck of the beagle underlines the relationship between man and dog.

This earnest English Bulldog Pup has the innocent, slightly petulant face seen on many a hungry puppy. His downturned ears and mouth capture the breed's expressive face well.

The eye can rove this highly intricate collage for hours, extracting the detail as new images and patterns are discovered.

This hand-made collage by Alex Zeng reveals something of the patience required for the art, as this American Bull Terrier's infinite patience for his owner is mirrored in the medium.

Meanwhile, the use of relatively large panels of pale cream depict the dog's body, while still giving depth and dimension to his iconic shape.

Character comes off this cat in spades, with his bright, friendly eyes and the welcoming set of his mouth. The way he's stepping gives the piece a jaunty feel and proves again that collage can still produce motion and emphasis, despite the restrictions of using so many mismatched shapes. There are myriad details to be found in this image, especially in the right leg and paw. This is a piece which continuously rewards the viewer.

This is one cool cat. Not content with the sleek ways that cats are already blessed with, this feline also wears a stylish modern ensemble. Thick glasses and a bowtie give out a Hipster vibe and it's hard to tell if this image is too cute or too cool. Close inspection of the clothes and the cat reveal collage items from various maps, so perhaps the coolness of this cat comes from being worldly and well-travelled.

Is it any wonder that owls are thought of as wise when you stare at this beautiful bird? As he watches you, he appears to know your every move.

The artist handcrafts each detail of the Wisest Owl with his usual style and grace. What a wonderful addition to any nature lover's collection!

The unmistakeable form of the Sphynx cat is captured wonderfully in this piece, which gives this often misunderstood breed a friendly appearance. The huge ears are iconic of this cat and the collage manages to describe the shape perfectly. Flowers in the foreground seem to adorn the cat and an aspect of Ancient Egyptian worship is seen in the figure of Bastet at the bottom right. Several details conspire in this piece to create a characterful and interesting homage.

This collage succeeds in expressing, through the strange arrangement of mismatched shapes and colours, the quirky and almost comedic face of the Chihuahua. Huge ears sit atop a small skull, with wide eyes and a slim neck. Just as the breed manages to turn mismatched features into cuteness, the collage merges strange collections of pictures into a beautiful whole. The pink bowtie tells us all we need to know about the character of this cheeky dog. The eyes could almost be mechanical and they gain expression as we search them for details of the layers used.

This art collage piece depicting a Beagle dog captures the character of the animal well, small but proud, always attentively looking out for the next exciting event. Pale cuttings from maps and posters make great patches of colour for this dog, while darker cells are chosen to create shadow and the sense of depth. It's curious how collage can both complete a picture in this fashion while also breaking away from the usual image of the subject, giving us a change to re-examine and appreciate the humble Beagle.

This lovely doe-eyed puppy is all dressed up to come home with you. The Chihuahua is a saucy little hot tamale and not just because of his association with a certain fast-food Mexican restaurant.
