Description

Title from Vamp & Tramp website. Edition limited to 50 numbered copies. Consists of 1 manila folder resembling a police report, 3 leaves resembling newspaper clippings related to pit bull "attacks." Inkjet printed on an Epson Stylus Photo R200. Typefaces used: Minion, American Typewriter, and Impact"Photo and paw print kindly contributed by Billie Holiday Thompson, my pit-boxer mix. All stories are sort of true." "I decided to write these satirical articles to make fun of the negative press that pitbulls get in the media and to advocate for what wonderful dogs they are. My pitbull rescue is a sweet, mellow dog who has been known to get chased by Chihuahuas and bully cats. Her favorite pastimes are cuddling and making new friends--human and canine. Pitbulls are not the vicious beasts the media portrays; the problem is irresponsible owners." http://www.vampandtramp.com/finepress/d/deconstructed.html
