______________ 

My Dog Sighs is the pseudonym for the internationally acclaimed UK street artist Paul Stone, who has spent over two decades evolving from a local artist in Portsmouth to a prominent global figure in the urban contemporary art movement. His work is instantly recognizable for its unique blend of melancholic, photorealistic, and often naive portraiture, which often features reflections within a large, signature human eye motif.

Stone began his journey with the "Free Art Friday" movement, a project where he would leave pieces of his artwork in public spaces for strangers to find, creating a city-wide treasure hunt dynamic that built a grassroots following. This initial, democratic approach to art, shared freely in the urban environment, has remained a core part of his philosophy, influencing his later large-scale community-focused projects.

A significant element of My Dog Sighs' work involves using found materials, most notably discarded tin cans, which he transforms into his distinctive "Can Man" characters. These characters, along with his illustrative "Quiet Little Voices," often carry a sense of loss and subsequent rediscovery, reflecting his inspiration from feelings of being lost and then found.

Paul Stone has been commissioned to create large-scale murals across five continents. His art is known for engaging with its environment and community, often incorporating the reflections of local people or scenes into the pupils of the painted eyes, giving the artwork a sense of shared ownership and connection. A former art teacher, Stone also uses his platform for educational outreach, providing materials to schools and creating immersive installations to inspire young people.
