The First Pig Escape Notecard
These prints are from a series of drawings and paintings featuring my pet pig, Miss Pigsley, now sadly deceased. The original art and the prints were produced in 2010.
On a rainy December evening in 2006, Miss Pigsley having over-imbibed at the Holiday trough began her first escape adventure.
As related here in classic Mexican retablo form, the events of the evening and the Miss Pigsley deliverance through divine intervention are presented with no regard for the constraints of time or space.
In case you can't read my writing on the painting here is the story:
It was a dark and stormy night as Miss Pigsley, tipsy on spiked eggnog, did break out of her pen and rampage through the neighborhood digging holes. Finding herself near the dangerous main road exhausted and accosted by strange men in pick-up trucks, she did commend herself to the miraculous image of St. Pignatious and was delivered from her travails and lured home with cookies. Safe and in gratitude she offers this retablo to his glorification and everlasting memory.
