Today, I chose an unknown street artist who doesn’t sing, dance or dress in an outrageously funny and/or strange way.
He’s a quiet one with crowd appeal.
He’s got a kind, wonderful, soft and sweet face that makes you need to smile.
He is also inhuman you might say, and canine, you have to say because, to tell the truth, he’s a dog.
What kind? Just a plain mutt in a fetal position, working non-stop to keep the number of pesky flies pestering him down to a mere 20,000.
His master, meanwhile, is working like a dog, transmogrifying art out of aluminum cans.
Frankly, I’m fascinated with the process: one minute, there’s a bunch of junky aluminum cans on the ground, and half an hour later, they’re works of art!
When I saw first the man you see here in my photo, I thought back to a past post of mine called Fabricating Aluminum Ashtrays, where I pointed out the differences in personalities. (Click on the link to read the post and view the QuickTme video.)
Like this fabricator/creator/transmogrifier, the couple in the Fabricating post were serious and a somewhat distant and Isabel cheery and bubbly.
To this day, I wonder and muse about Isabel; I hope she is well and happy.
