My partner Chris started writing a blog about pigs, Salute the Pig a little while ago. He likes pigs but also likes pork so as a part time project we look for local ethical pig breeders and pork producers. Happy pigs are our first requirement.
So far we have met very happy pigs and very caring pig farmers. It has been a delight and we are looking at the different breeds of pigs as we go.
I have been doing some sketches with an idea of something more finished later in the year and to date I have sketched The Gorgeous Curly Coated Mangalitzas, see blog post: "The Complete & Utter Gorgeousness of Pigs Ears" with their amazing curls.
Check out those ears!
The gentle and rare Lops. See blog post “The Big British Lop Pig”
And the feisty Duroc. See blog post “A Gorgeous Ginger Pig”
Sketches in pencil, pen and ink and watercolour in A4 sketchbook.
You can read much more about these pigs and pigs in general over on Chris’ blog
It’s time for the next pig, so for my Beautiful Beasts week I am going to be looking at the very smart Saddleback Pigs and pigs in general.
