why whimsical dog art
“So much is wrong with the world and here you are doing artwork of cute dogs and the occasional cats. Aren’t you denying reality, denying the power of protest art?” No, I am on purpose living well as a direct action against the bullies, abusive people and authoritarians. If I were to get upset and…
