You might have thought people were crazy when they started praying for Barbaro, but wait until you see this one. Two drunks in Saratoga, NY decided that they should try and mount a horse sculpture outside of the Roohan Realty building. They failed miserably, and the entire scenario was recorded by a nearby surveillance camera.
Now people are outraged! From the creator of the poor fake horse…
We lived together there for four months while he became transformed. He donned his clothing as Saratoga’s realtor, but it wasn’t until he got that sparkle in his eye that he came alive. Little spiders and flies made their home on his back and he became a part of our family. Everyone had to go out back and say hello to him and when he left, there was a vacancy in my studio that has yet to be filled.
Listen lady, I sympathize with your anger, but you need to let it go. It’s like when I spend twelve hours straight looking for racy cheerleader photos, post them, and someone else reposts them and doesn’t give me credit. Oh the feeling of violation! But hey, you move on and forget because it’s part of the business. And in your business (horse sculptures for public display), having your work get mock sodomized, drunk mounted, or just plain pushed over, comes with the territory.
