Blue Manure

Blue Manure
Larchmont, NY

Note: Created from a photograph of dog manure in grass that was not cleaned up. The surrounding grass forms a series of abstract patterns and textures while digital editing and blue coloration was used to make the manure more palatable to the viewer with its morphological features that form a pattern of their own in light blue and dark blue. The face is sad since it is irresponsible when pet owners do not clean up after their pets as required by the law as well as basic civility. I created this work of digital art to break rules and further expand limits and boundaries using radical and unusual media that by itself would be unpleasing and rejected by society.

In fact, the contamination of public spaces and walkways by careless pet owners is increasing.
A great, impressive piece of art that will hopefully wake up many pet owners!

I like animals but far too many pets are not taken care of properly and properly controlled by their owners. We see this even on backcountry trails.

And to add on this, when a dog appears vicious and unfriendly it's most of the time due to poor training by the owner. :( Thank you Ron!

it is absolutely incredible to make such a beautiful work of art with (excuse me) dog poop! and the incivilities really multiply! in front of my house, there is a beautiful park and how many people walk their dogs and do not pick up their pet's droppings! but it is now punished by a large fine!! beautiful day Will ! amicalement♫

A great, creative and harmonious creation.
The dog owner did not deserve this. But the dog itself is a co-artist... ;-))

I love dogs (as I do all animals). But an animal is a responsibility. I always think it should be the owner who has to be licensed, not the dog. However, you have used a bad situation to create something special. I love the grass pattern making something obscene really decorative.

I agree Eunice. Most owners are actually responsible but it's the few that create the perception this is a wider spread problem than it is.

Sad eyes and apologizing even though not responsible for this so unpleasant situation
I like the tones because you considered the dog and you didn't want to be aggressive with the owners
A call of attention, is your goal!

Great idea and very well realized , William!!!

In Lisbon we have exactly this problem!
Total lack of civic education!

Marvellous and very creative artwork, William, especially in view of the original subject matter! Yes, as many have commented, it's most often a matter of poor owners rather than their animals.

Your reply to Ron is so true, William.
Part of my life has been completely ruined by any animal distress. Even if laws are now in place, they can't replace the respect that everyone should have for ANY living being. Even the tiniest ones.
Thanks a lot for your good thought here.

Loved the picture. Loved the message. HITS HOME BIG TIME. OMG how I hate pet owners that don't clean up after their pets. The few ruin it for the rest of us. It's just so infuriating. However, the sad truth is that it's just how it is. *sigh*

Thanks though, for your cool artwork. I totally agree with your sentiments!

Vamos, una mierda de perro que un dueño incivilizado de can ha dejado ahí. Es una plaga en las ciudades, no puedes dejar a un niño jugar en un parque sin riesgo de que se cisque con estos excrementos. Bien por el bonito color azul que le has dado y la tristeza que emana de ese resto dejado ahí para vergüenza del dueño del perro e incomodidad y asco de los demás ciudadanos.

Great artistic and creative image. It is really horrible to see places littered with dog poo. Even though it's illegal to allow pet owners to foul public it is hard to catch these people in the act. Well done William Regards Tess.

Leider werden der Hunde immer mehr, William.
Stellt man einen Hundebesitzer zur Rede, wenn ein Hund sich gerade entleert hat, dann sind sie noch verärgert.
Starke Einstellung.
Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Tag
