Pupper Progression

I've had a few questions about my painting (and now T-shirt!) "Pupper Progression" so I wanted to give a little nerdy background.

My inspiration was the work of Ed Ruscha. In his series "Extremes and In-betweens" he takes his classic word paintings and arranges size related words (Mile, Foot, Inch, etc) on smoky backgrounds. A link to a video of the gallery show below.

Using a style of text based on his signature font "Boy Scout Utility Modern" I arranged the internet slang for different dog sizes in a similar way. A primer on these terms in the video link below. 

What is a Pupper? What is a Doggo?

Yes, it's a super niche contemporary art joke on top of a pretty niche internet joke.

But that's me. *wink*
