Dog Getting Shot In Mouth - By Ian

Dog Getting Shot In Mouth - By Ian

The artist has written a poem about this piece in order that we can all understand his intentions.

“Dog getting shot in Mouth

is about revealing the effects abstraction can have

Were the piece done in photorealism
it would lack humor
this point really needs to be comprehendeded
This is also about the deleterious effects different levels of abstraction can have on the animal rights movement

Also, I am opposed to the violence which inheres in Tom and Jerry,
“hey kids, torturing cats is funny”
how about unloading a glock in Spots mouth?
watching the bullet come out his ass
is that funny
no
but wait
b/c it is so deep

maybe it is

this is the point
in the abstract
it is funny
so ultimately it is a critique of mainstream cartoons not taking it far enough
in the cartoonal medium
at that level of abstraction
animal cruelty must be pushed further
imagine me saying all this in a french accent
smoking a very thin self rolled cigarette
w/ a black and white striped skin tight sweater
and a black fedora
maybe tight corduroys
the little ridged ones
and a scarf
in front of that coffee spot we used to frequent. - IAN
And to all a good night.
