Two local symbols


I must admit the angry bull image was a drawing from memory, from a beautifully crafted grafitti like those which used to populate the streets of Barcelona a few years ago (before the city hall apparently decided to wage war on them, pasteurizing the cityscape for tourists from tv-land). Based upon it, I decided to create a character inspired by the local Catalan donkey ('burro') as opposed to the Spanish Bull ('Toro'). Sideburns and a cigar were elements I thought could match the catalan type of guy. Though the second donkey carries a Greek flag tattooed on his arm, his basically a variation of the first. Enough blahblahblah for tonight!
