I like it…
… but I’m wondering who will judge the cow-on-a-bike drawing competition????

I can’t believe I missed the San Francisco cycleride!

“that our bicycle cow’s headdress was addressed to thee, for you see, and only from me” - my kind of story!

that in the picture is not a real cow, it’s two people dressed in a cow’s suit. you can tell by the sneakers attached to the front legs.

I was born in the country. All cows are like that. The pantomime horse is the most true expression of the state of British zoology at the beginning of the 21st century.

I did find an icon of a cow in a shopping trolley on http://www.cows.be
does that count?
(the “art on cows” event in brussels displays 180 or so painted cows throughout the city. “iedereen houdt van koeien. zo is dat nu eenmaal!”)

One thing I found interesting on that site is the number of cows that have been stolen. Barcelona’s Botero cat recently moved from the Drassanes to la Rambla del Raval, though it may have figured out feline biomechanics whilst sitting there.

I’m not very good at bikes. Hills and houses are my speciality. I’ll get the dog to do a new one at teh weekend. When’s the closing date?

botero’s cat seems to be everywhere. it (or botero himself) invented cloning long before they produced dolly, the silly sheep. it’s as ubiquitous as those andean music bands. i remember botero’s cat from the bellas artes in caracas as well, but that may have been botero’s pig.
i’d steal one of those cows, but i’d have trouble hiding it.

The competition ends when the cows come home, of course. I don’t think that even fat cows/cats sing.

Two links for those of you with a taste for the revolting and the merely disgusting. (Thanks D & R.)

That sounds most interesting!

Breaking news: Hiroshi at S**y Research is working on a collage that will challenge conventional notions of the bovine and, if it’s anything like his previous rubbish, make you regret the whole digital revolution.
