I dressed the pig like an NBA ref, except the jersey has the initials NPA and the basketball is a Sowling. I had the Glass Hand build the basketball and the whistle. I did the sanding and painting, in acrylic. All the ribbing that Mike Mathis has been getting because of the pig. They had him at the Mathis Foundation golf tournament and auction in June, and he was on the grandstand at the Hamilton County Fair.
Art is in the eye of the beholder.
