A
chihuahua simply hangs on for dear life aboard that famous #9...
or is it? Only the Chili Dog knows for sure if its a hot chili pepper
or not!
States
the artist, Lori Munro, "I had an idea for quite some time
to create a chihuahua and had anticipated the final result to have
this tiny breed aboard a midget car. BUT, being that the dogs are
just so tiny, it was almost impossible to scale this miniscule creature
properly and still give the illusion of it being involved in a large
piece of race car. My brain got thinking that the chihuahua is no
bigger than a decal on a midget car... so why not make the dog a
part of the decal?"
The end
result had that famous #9 looking more and more like a chili pepper
than a decal on a Steve Lewis midget, so a piece of green stem was
added to enhance the appearance of a pepper even further. The traditional
Racer Dogs bandana was added along with a pair of chihuahua-sized
bubble goggles to add even more whimsy to this piece.
