FLOWERIDA - Austin Cow Parade

Day 9 of the Austin Cow Parade:

FLOWERIDA

Artist: Melanie Hickerson

I was quite disappointed when I came upon this particular cow because someone had written on the nose of the cow. This picture was taken on Friday, July 29th and the cows had only been out for less than two days at that point. I'm hoping that this one instance of "vandalism" will be the only one.

Day 7 of the Austin Cow Parade

DISCOW

Artisit: Sharon Kershishian

I was fortunate enough to actually run into the artist while taking these pictures. That's Sharon Kershishian posing with her creation. If my memory serves me correctly she stated that it took a bit over 3 weeks to complete and over 5000 mirrored squares.
