Dog Tags

A dog tag is a tiny, wearable frame. Ours come on a chain in stainless steel or gold plate, each printed with one of Flyn Costello's original animal paintings: the Usual Suspects wolf and bear mugshots, the Cinnabun Bandit and Beer Bandit raccoons, Walrus Dreamin', the I'm In Guys! chipmunk, the Great Blue Heron, the Bison, the Robins and Pigeons Run on Donuts.

The steel tags are matte and understated; the gold-plated tags catch the light and suit the heron and the bison especially well. Both are light enough to forget you're wearing and sturdy enough to survive being forgotten in a pocket, and the chain is long enough to tuck under a shirt when the wolf needs a day off.

If you've been looking for an animal necklace that isn't a charm, a dog tag necklace with real art on it, or a gift that fits in an envelope, start here. Pins and keychains live next door.
