Pampered Puppy out of Canada, gave us a wonderful review. Click the link to see the whole thing, including great photos of Merry the pug turned Zena.

"The quality of workmanship and attention to detail is nothing short of stellar. This is work that will last a lifetime (or two or three pug lifetimes). You'd expect to see this kind of quality on big budget movie sets... but everyday joes like you and I can buy it."

August 2008: Vimeo featured the Dogs of War video, originally made by Pupstyle

"Have you considered that your dog could just be out minding its business and get ambushed by a Chihuahua in a tank that shoots parasites and dive-bombing cats with blood on their tiny minds? Didn't think of that little scenario, did you?"

July 2008: Trendhunter.com spotlighted the bustier sets and the dog armor.

July 2008 Your Fantasy Costume, "your guide for the perfect fantasy sci-fi and horror costumes", featured the bustier sets.

June 2008: the Asheville Citizen Times blog gave us a good intro just before the River District Studio Stroll

February 2008: Pupstyle, Fashionista of Canine Culture, made a very funny video featuring images from our site and some dramatic Wagner. It's posted on YouTube

October 2007: Bornrich.com featured our dog armor

Oddity of the Week
September 2007
We got reviewed on Chateau Bizarre, a cool site that highlights the work of independent designers and small businesses. They said:

"Organic Armor are quite generous with their sculpting talents, so that not only the sword-bearing maidens get some battle snazz, but their familiars, too."

Fall 2007:

None other than Gaygamer said
"Aside from just making sequined scale mail and glittering gorgets for people-folk, they also offer puppy-sized plate for your precious pet! Adorable! And—even better—it makes your dog look a Jim Henson goblin!"

Velvet Dice Bag via Weekly Geek called us
"a dual-classed fantasy-lover/cosplayer's dream"

The Pet Effect called Organic Armor: "Sauron's Eye-Catching Armor for Middle Earth Pups."

CoolBuzz said "Let your dog express its warrior instincts!"

Ask Chewie said:
"This is pure butch. Pure testosterone. No one would mistake me fer some girly poodle in this!!! Yes, MaMa get me some armor! I can just see the jealous eyes of every dog at the park! I will be the king, as I rightfully should be! *schnurf*"

Gizmodo
July 2007
The blog that started the OA viral spread across the net was Gizmodo. Here's what they said about us:

"Paul Hersey makes fantasy-based armor for you, your kids and, most adorably, your pets. Yes, now your dog can ditch that obnoxious, emasculating sweater and put on a sword-stopping breastplate that'll make him seem like the badass warrior that you know lurks within. Or, just get a cowboy hat that looks like it was made in the Shire. Because wearing just a cowboy hat or just a fantasy movie prop makes you look like a dork, but putting those things together? The ladies won't be able to resist."
