Your Pet Paints

Taxi is going to paint for an Italian friend who wants us to create a vivid, graffiti-like effect.

After I have prepared and spray-painted the canvas, I put on my coveralls and spread out a tarp. Next I insert platforms under the canvas frame, so that Taxi’s weight won’t dent the fabric. Finally, I mix the colors that he will use, stuff some dog treats into my pocket, and we’re ready to begin. Taxi paints 5 colors in 45 minutes, then I apply the finishing touches and this “masterpiece” is complete.
