The Touch of the Golden Nose

The Touch of the Golden Nose:This illustration depicts a statue of a dog in a Moscow subway station. People are encouraged to rub the nose of the dog to receive good luck, resulting in the nose of the statue remaining golden while the rest of its body oxidized and a brown copper state. My illustration takes that idea into a much more exaggerated depiction, where people go out of their way to touch the nose to receive a magical glow of luck.
