Poocho Villa

[Alie K]

K, so I painted this for a "Day of the Dead" charity art auction. Took a long time. Kinda sad to see it go. It's a chihuahua dressed up as Pancho Villa. I didn't do my homework beforehand. I just thought it would be funny to do a chihuahua dressed up as a Zapatista. It was only well after I started painting it that I looked up Pancho Villa (to get the correct spelling) and found out that he was the General of the Northern part of Mexico, mainly the region of Chihuahua. I nearly peed my pants when I found that out. Here's the Wiki:

...and here's the painting:

Thanks, Matt! A few more little dabs here and there, and I'll be bringing it up to your place tonight!

SICK!!!
From the concept to execution I like this. You could probably sell that one to Zack De La Rocka for a fortune. LOL

I wonder if he'd come to the charity auction! :P

Looks fantastic! Great job on that!

[Alie K]

Thanks, Glen. I hear you and the missus might be in town for the event? That would be AWESOME!
