Full description

let me tell you about life. sit down. relax. this is what i call a 'life-lesson'. its a keeper. you are going to learn something very valuable. all these things you want. all those things you have already, a car. a house. a partner. kids. that laptop. the dog , the cat whatever. these things you own. they end up owning you. every little thing, even your clothes. they own you. pretty soon you're working just to keep all this stuff ticking over. it gets so you can't breathe. its suffocating. all these things. gah. can't breathe. you need a new start. you need to disappear. forget all those things, those attachments, those ball and chains. you need a way out.

i have it.

i have the answer.

...doberman...

im an explorer. i can't show you a licence or a certificate or a degree. so dont ask. just take my word. and im a surgeon. and a doberman expert. i am telling you for a fact that doberman guts lead to your own little green boat. that little boat is your clean slate. you can do it all right this time! escape. to anywhere. no ties. start afresh. free and clear. just you and the endless horizon, the unending doberman ocean. the rolling open sea.

so.

the doberman.

this is one of a series of box frames i have made about whats inside animals(about 30 in total).

the box frame measures 256 x 256 x 45. so fairly close to the size of a piece of a4 paper (300x200). i made the illustration of the dog on the front with the text. it is adhered directly to the glass. the illustration on the inside is not mine, its vintage and is ripped directly from an old 1970s childrens book - oh my!! - and is stuck down with coloured plumbers tape.

perhaps you could keep it on a shelf above your newborn so as to instill a fearless outlook in the nipper. perhaps youre a gym teacher and could keep it in your school classroom in the event of rabid doberman sparking mob panic in the playground. perhaps you could keep it by your armchair and when your youngest comes home in a terror you can klunk him round the earhole with it, and warn him sternly of the dangers of cowardice in the face of clear science, which is what this is, i assure you.

doberman guts contain your own little boat. fact.
