Aug 8 -- Day at the Dog Park and Revisiting the Self-Portrait Time Machine
/The big event of the day — of the week, really — was a visit to the Pugs in the Park gathering. It was Nacho’s first pug jamboree. When we arrived we found a dozen pugs socializing in a symphony of wheezing and grunting. Nacho was at first overwhelmed and tried to make himself as small and insignificant as possible. When he realized he was among kin, he relaxed and started smelling butts and frapping. I’m proud to say that he was the only pug bold enough (or foolhardy enough) to roll around in the mud by the water trough.
We called it a day when a loose boxer chased him down and backed him into the fence. That was scary.
As for the picture above, it’s another sketch that invokes the “When in doubt, draw a self-portrait” rule. This time I used my Photoshop Self-portrait Time Machine brush, which magically deducts many decades from the image. Out of respect for the principle of realism, I fastidiously drew myself bald.
