The (e)volition of Bob the Dog
There are Bob the Dog murals in Sacramento, and they should actually be in every major American city because they have a certain quality that speaks to the inner child while also being adult and realistic.
I own the one above, and it is perhaps my favorite.
But Bob has changed over the years. The new Bob is thicker...much more so, and I am curious about that. Also, he has developed teeth and a tongue (of course he still has no eyes).
His themes are the same...and the playfulness and the ironies still swing and circle around the paintings. They are kinda irrestible unless you are dead and cynical.
