Roxie
Who wouldn’t take a picture of this small dog? Look at the sculptural bend of that paw, the lines of taught muscles, the bridge of negative space under the chest. See that hint of a canine smile which tells of muddy paws and fondly snuffled forest hikes. How could you resist?
Who hasn’t seen hundreds of graffitied walls? We all know the looping tags which swoosh colour into the drabbest allyways and underpasses. One they were raw and shocking, shrieking of protest and poverty, now we pass by unblinking, they are urban wallpaper.
Combine the two and there’s an unexpected charm. Graffiti and Roxie, tag and dog, they go together well.
