February 12 - Dog #2

"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable."

~ Banksy

I think building a pooping balloon dog was more of an inevitability.  The groan?  That was just the sound of me trying to push the urge down.

The original design I believe is by Jason Freeny, who has made numerous sculptures, including some now-iconic balloon dog poses - but I've seen this recreated by a few people.  I thought it might be fun to add another dog to the mix, doing what my dog does when another is trying to poop: inspect the process way too closely.

It sort of feels weird to talk about posing a pooping dog - but here we are.  I wanted to try and get the awkward sheepish look that they give you when they catch you staring.  I think I captured both looks better before I changed to brown poo to be honest, the head down really gives a hard stare-back, and the head tilt on the yellow dog adds a lot of the taking-a-whiff look..
