I’ve seen some weird statues taking up shelf space at dollar stores. I’ve seen slutty soccer boys, golfing frogs, winking Jesuses (Jesi?), dead kangaroos, jumping flowers with faces and stick-legged prostitues, but this one might be the most effed up.
What would possess a company to produce a statue that features (nay, HIGHLIGHTS) a dog’s junk, is beyond me. And you can’t really pretend it’s not there or that you didn’t see it. It’s like staring at a burn victim dwarf: You know you shouldn’t be staring, but you can’t look away.
I’ll bet all artists have to take some pretty sorry-ass jobs at one time or another to pay the bills. I’ll bet most of the time, they’re able to convince themselves it’s a worthwhile artistic endeavor and that it’s not a step down in their career as an artist. “They want me to paint a wall in a pre-school. So I guess I’ll get to be creative and my work will inspire the imaginations of a bunch of children.” But try convincing yourself that THIS job doesn’t mean your career is circling the drain. “They want me to make a bunch of tacky, perverted statues that showcase dog balls. Guess I might as well pack it in.”
