Frenchie Clip-On Dog Bandana – Featuring Original Art by Akuorkor, Black Female Artist

This cheerful, clip-on dog bandana was created in collaboration with Akuorkor—a Black female artist, Duke University graduate, and lifelong pet lover whose artistic roots lie in indie animation. Drawing from her time working on the YouTube-bound animated series Lionbound, Akuorkor brings an animator’s eye for character, color, and style to this festive design.

Featuring soft aqua tones, playful paw prints, and a dog character holding a bone, this design adds effortless charm to any dog’s daily walk, park visit, or holiday photo shoot. It feels cozy, expressive, and full of quiet joy—just like the pups who wear it.

Made with quick-dry, durable polyester, it handles puddles, dew, and everyday mess with ease. The triangle silhouette sits neatly over your dog’s collar, and the slip-on clip design ensures fast, fuss-free dressing.

Meet Akuorkor

Trained in traditional and digital animation, Akuorkor worked on Lionbound, an indie animated series, before the project was canceled due to internal changes. The experience sharpened her skills in team collaboration, deadlines, and quality consistency—all of which she brings into her illustration work today.

Her style balances cartoon-like expressiveness with realistic proportions, often drawing inspiration from Disney legends like James Baxter, Milt Kahl, and Andreas Deja, as well as digital artists like Nightrizer and Alex Harrier. As a multi-pet mom and storyteller at heart, Akuorkor’s designs aim to bring a little extra personality to everyday pet essentials.
