Well, the fine art world has officially been declared dead.

The Pig of Plastic is fine art, and has been immortalized in a painting.

Dorothy's daughter in law's mother is a painter, and I repaired the family's computer. I thought it was for free, but she decided to paint my car instead. She got a photo from Gilmore, and a photo of me, and put the two together. Then she had it framed, and Voila, the Pig of Plastic is fine art. Somehow, I'll bet it's the only Puma that has been captured by a painting in this country, and maybe the world.

I'll be having showings at the gallery, (house) in the near future...

Looks pretty nice with the exception of ME behind the wheel...

She coulda painted you draped across the hood instead of in the driver's seat - I think you should be glad you're in it (IN the painting and IN the car!)
