Nathan Janes has been showcasing his newest art venture "Mutt Hounds" on a hip, new character design website called Mojizu.com. According to Janes, Mutt Hounds were created to entertain while subtly educating about animals and their welfare. Janes' Mutt Hounds characters have been so well received by the character-loving community of Mojizu that one Mutt Hounds character won a four-week "battle" against other characters on the site to become the Mojizu Champ. One of Janes' Mutt Hounds characters is "Mutz: The Urban Underdog", a doggie super hero who promotes the prevention of cruelty towards animals while enforcing the rights of companion animals. Although Janes has yet to unveil his website for the Mutt Hounds characters, currently they can be viewed at http://www.mojizu.com/artist/PopARF.aspx.

Janes is becoming increasingly known in the world of art for his pop art stylings of dogs, which have come to be called "Pop ARF". Within the last several months, Janesí art work has been featured in a variety of national and international publications. In 2005, Janes was named an "Emerging Artist and Trendsetter" by Art Business News, the largest trade publication in the US. Janes says, "Even though the Mutt Hounds characters are only in their developing stages look for big things to come for these canine characters." Janes plans to bring Mutt Hounds and their message of prevention of cruelty to animals into the homes of Americans.

Evildoers and thugs better beware!A new hero roams our city streets,
Tracking and capturing with unbelievable feats.This masked caper upholds and restores the laws,
Break them and you'll feel the grip of her paws.With a sniff from her nose and a wave of her tail,
She rounds up criminals and sends them directly to jail.If you're ever in danger and need some help,
She'll throw you a bone before you can let out a Yelp!A true hero that appears straight out of the fog,
You can always count on help from "Mutz: The Urban Underdog!"
