Pig Parade: When We Win the Super Bowl
Pigs fly when Bengals win the Super Bowl
By Owen Findsen
The Cincinnati Enquirer
This is 62nd in a series spotlighting pigs from the Big Pig Gig Public
Art Project taking place in Cincinnati, Covington and Newport. Find past
pig profiles and event details at Cincinnati.com/bigpiggig.
Artist: Kathy Raab, 36, Sharonville. This is one of two pigs by the
artist.
Sponsor: Collins International.
This pig's pen: Fountain Square.
You were inspired by: Actually the design I submitted was for a very
realistic zebra striped pig, but the sponsor was looking for someone to
do a realistic Bengal tiger.
What's the pig idea? It's the way the city would feel if the Bengals
won the Super Bowl.
Completing the project took: 50 hours.
What's the matter? Exterior latex.
Your high on the hog was: Getting the assignment to do the pig.
Pig peeve: Having to rent a cargo van to pick up and deliver the pig.
Best pig tale: My husband and I have been living in Pittsburgh for the
past 10 years, so we haven't really been following the Bengals.
My favorite pork dish: Honey baked ham.
The materials cost: $100.
Do you consider this art or porkography? It's porkography unless the
Bengals do better this season. Then it's art.
If your pig starred in a movie, who would you cast to play the role?
Mike Brown.
