Pugs In Paintings

Taking some of the world's greatest works of art - and adding pugs to them. This is either an improvement or a defacement, depending on your love of pugs. No paintings or pugs were harmed, and all paintings are credited to their famous creators. Trying to upload a new one every day! Follow me on Twitter @notforprosser #yyc #canada #pugs #art

This is my attempt to replicate the magic of a Mandy Stobo piece. It falls short, but that’s to be expected. Stobo’s “Bad Portraits” are famous in Calgary for their raw power, and ability to capture the soul of the subject. My wife and I were lucky enough to have had portraits done by Stobo, and the pair hang proudly in our house. http://www.badportraitproject.com/
