I have looked into the eyes of Joe the Dog

This is a dog on a monument in Highgate Cemetery, near where I stayed in North London. Joe is a living dog, earnest, sober and dignified, living in New Paltz, New York. I did not get a photo of him, but let me just say I have never before had my face licked in the courteous, considerate manner in which Joe does this. More dogs on TinyTheatre.

If you are ever in New Paltz, stop by Briarwood Court and ask for Joe the dog. You can tell them I sent you.

Deluxe

Here is the t-shirt design, and also here is a short science fiction story (nothing to do with the illustration):

He stretched in the sun, listening to the early morning twittering in the trees. They were such delightful creatures, with their cheerful warbling, their smooth coats and their luxuriant crests. Hard to believe what the scientists said, that they had once walked upright on the ground, built hive-like cities that reached to the sky, and even, it was theorized, had some rudimentary form of language. He settled his wings and retreated into the hillside nest which sheltered his wife and eggs.

Unsuitable Attachment

My sister and her husband had a cat and a small dog who were fond of each other, I believe they used to groom each other. My brother-in-law claimed they engaged in acrobatic sexual practices while he was trying to eat and put him off his dinner, but I think he was just having a bit of fun.

Edit: Just fixed a wicked Freudian slip this morning. It's gone now!

Winged Victory


This piece is currently in a show on College Avenue in Berkeley. Unfortunately something happened to the gallery which caused it to need emergency repairs, so it's closed for a couple of weeks. Pretty much, things break down and need to be repaired. Like this piece I suppose - although I'll admit to taking a hammer to part of it myself before building it back up.
