Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Mama is going over the rules once again
with these pin heads who tried to impede
our progress to The Spirit House yesterday.
Lots of primate problems were had on this day
and a long text is included with the insert below.
Rocky and Little Stubby are standing beside of me.
You see Legs The Zoomer up on the big rock while
Mama is pacing around below. The second Mama let
out a serious growl, Legs barked, Rocky and L-Stubby
B-Lined it for the action in order to backup Mama & Crew.
These two alpha males figured the food bag was for them.
They tried to do a sneaky ambush attack but failed miserably.
I'll be resting for a few days then it's back to business as usual.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments ...................;-)
Thank You.
Jon&Crew.

Photograph from Westways Magazine as conservator Nathan Zakheim was cleaning spray paint vandalism and repairing puncture holes in the fragile siding that made up the wall. All work was organized by the City of LA Cultural Affairs. The mural had been saved once before by the Mural Conservancy of LA. I was there doing some inpainting. Circa 2003.
First painted in 1971 as a tribute to my favorite charactor actor, I had to return many times to touch it up due to the oil paints I used originally. I finally retouched it with acrylics and then during 2003 the City of LA commissioned conservators Nathan and Kuva Zakheim to fully restore the mural to its original glory.
I drew this as I was restoring my mural monument to Strother at 5200 Fountain Ave in Hollywood. I didn't yet know about artist acrylic paints in 1971 when I painted this mural and the oils I had used began flaking off. Strother gave the most famous line in American cinema during the 70s, "What we have here, is failure to communicate", right after, as the prison warden in "Cool Hand Luke", he had clubbed Paul Newman down into a ditch. Strother and I became friends and he would often repeat lines to me over the phone from whatever movie he was making. Of course I would be going to pieces listening to his genius. He was highly cultured. He loved listening to Sibelius and never tired of reading poetry. But in the movies he would rape and pillage and steal the gold out of the teeth of a fresh corps. Strother was the greatest.
