Acie the Chihuahua

2 drawings, 6"x6", 5"x4", crayon on paper, 2008
2 photographs, color, 2008

On a recent visit to a San Francisco pizza parlor that gives you crayons and lets you draw on the table, Kevin G and I attempted to draw our friends Ryan and Adriana's dog Acie. The drawings were done purely off of memory. Ryan submitted cell phone photos after the fact, so we can gauge accuracy.

We're good friends now, but I've been attacked by Acie a lot, and this image was burned into my eyes:  

Kevin's attempt is more of a caricature and reflects a friendlier, idealized relationship with Acie. He's probably only been bitten once or twice.  

Acie is so cute.

I respect your attempt to reach a cross-over blog audience with chihuahua pictures , but we both know it will be unsuccessful. Especially on a Saturday evening.
