The Lassie dog, and the herding instinct underneath is real — a rough collie will try to organise your other pets, your children, and you. They are sensitive to noise and to atmosphere, bark more than people expect, and the coat is an enormous ongoing commitment. Many carry the MDR1 gene mutation, which makes certain common drugs dangerous.
Meet Beau
Black and white Rough Collie, long elegant narrow snout, flowing dramatic mane and ruff, semi-erect tipped ears, wise concerned eyes, tongue out. Cannot stop trying to herd the crew into a better configuration. The crew has never cooperated. Beau has never stopped trying. The most tired member of the group — not from the chaos, from trying to correct it.
About the design
Black and white photorealistic stencil art, deep shadows, high contrast.
Every character in the crew wears one tiny red clown nose — the only colour
in the entire design.
Printed on garment-dyed heavyweight cotton with an unstructured, relaxed fit.
Why the rough collie works as stencil art
The long narrow muzzle and vast mane give a stencil its most dramatic outline — the head is small, the silhouette enormous.
