A black and white print featuring hideously whimsical creatures. There is a black cow with white spots, sticking it's tongue out as if it's eating, and there may be grass sticking out of the cow's mouth. Underneath the cow's tongue is a worm and a few flowers. Underneath the cow's stomach is a weird insect with very pronounced teeth, and above the cow are two birds, one standing on the cow's back. There are four flys flying around the cow's tail and a disgruntled sun in between the cow's tail and the bird. Your imagination is the best description of this piece., Cow; woodblock print; 11.25 x 17.5 inches; 1981-85, A welder by trade with a master's degree in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute, Bulwinkle tickles us with his outrageous characters.
