What you have here is graffiti. Now, ruffiti. Sharing images of his dogs with the rest of Manhattan, an artist paints them on construction site fences or buildings. Regardless if you love dogs or not, surely you will react to the paintings that this artist does.
With the variety in those who pass by comes a variety in their reactions. When it comes to his works, they have been part of print and TV media. And commercial success prompted a seven city tour one summer on Route 66.
In a move to avoid art dealers, he decided to use these spaces as his canvasses. Most of the time, art dealers will instruct artists on what should be painted on a canvass. Art dealers take advantage of artists who want nothing else but to make it in the art world.
His search for a new endeavor led to the creation of these works of art. Such is a magnificent display of art. Such paintings have variety. He considers this to be the best showcase of art.
The dog portraits are completed with seven swift strokes. At that time, he says, he was going to a lot of galleries and got tired of looking at paintings that were so wispy and vague. For one woman who was located down the street from the gallery, she only visited when there was the dog show. What she got from the gallery was a $1,500 dog painting.
Sales was only one part of the entire event. Signing a fence was something that the artist did not expect. There were also some people who considered the show a disgrace. One visitor also said that these should not be put up in New York.
There will always be detractors the artist said. His earnings usually came from the trade of antiques before he became a painter.
He loves walking around the city because this is where he gets his ideas from. Usually, when nighttime hits, you will find him in the Wall Street area. He also visits the countryside every now and then during the summer. Hitting Chicago is the Dogs across America tour.
