The Carmen Mirandawg happens to be my favorite, just because of her ridiculous eyelashes. There were 36 dogs created in total, but many have left to go live with Georgia fans.

Public Art Dawgs
I know this is GA Tech, and we hate UGA, but I figure the public art isn't technically part of the university. In Athens, they put up different bulldogs, each painted something different. If you've ever heard of the cows, I think they're in North Carolina, it's the same thing, just Georgia Bulldogs. They were painted by different local artists around Athens, which has a huge folk art scene. Many are sponsored by local businesses, including Jittery Joe's coffee (yum!) and Athens Regional Medical Center. Each bulldog is unique in its design and they can be found all over town.

This is a really cool display of public art because it is related to college, and it looks very ridiculous in the way it was painted.
ReplyDeleteI personally also really like this one example of public art. It's unexpected yet beautiful. It's a great way to blend something fun with something that's creative also.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a huge piece of public art, with many details that looked like it took a lot of time. I personally respect this piece of work due to the intricate details put on and the effort spent to make it look so masterful. Even if it is a bulldog, it incorporates a rich tradition in college sports loyalty as well as a free artistic nature to add whatever one feels like to the dog.
