Gillie and Marc are partners in art and love. They met twenty years ago in Hong Kong, when Gillie was a nurse from England and Marc was a boy from Melbourne’s suburbs. Just a week later, they married in the foothills of Mount Everest. Not too long after, Dogman and Rabbitgirl were born. Wildly popular, these figurative characters star in collections across the world. Together - part animal, part human Dogman and Rabbitgirl act as Gillie and Marc’s alter egos - travelling the globe and falling love. Meet the whirlwind genius of Dogman and Rabbitgirl!
