"ART DOGS" . . .YES, IT'S LIKE THE COWS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2010 - COJO'S NJ STUDIO, NJ
I recently finished my part of a collaborative charity project put together by Pet Health Store NYC called "Art Dogs & Cats of New York". They commissioned 12 talented local artists to paint twelve statues of dogs and cats, which will be displayed outside their store, and auctioned off to raise money for six NYC animal rescue groups. The idea is emulation of the Art Cows, exhibits that took place in Chicago and New York some years ago, but on a slightly smaller scale.
They asked me to document the process of painting it with photos. . .
