Checks Cashed

Painted this mural in Detroit. It was crazy to be in a city that so strongly resembles many of my recent paintings.
The guy who lived here had some very big dogs, which he had to prevent people from coming into his warehouse.
As I was leaving, the dogs came out into the yard, the largest one went straight over to the fire hydrant I had just painted and urinated on it.
Now I have steady stream of requests to paint objects for dogs to piss on.
