The Bulldog Cafe 24x36” print ($80 CAD)
This slightly overwhelmed looking guy is the Bulldog Café that once stood at 1153 West Washington Boulevard in LA from 1928 to 1966. He might’ve been bulldozed then, but he was also reincarnated at 2:3 scale for a 1991 movie called the Rocketeer, and that reproduction eventually found a new, permanent, home at the Idle Hour on Vineland Avenue. What a life. Whether you call it “memetic architecture,” “novelty architecture,” “programmatic architecture,” or “an absolute cutie pie,” this dog needs your love and wall space. Dimensions include a 1.5" margin. Printed in an open edition, signed and dated on reverse.
