Can’t resist to share with you the cow parade that  I stumble upon in Starhill, Bintang Walk, Kuala Lumpur! My fave is the Christmas cow and the another one I called Cowger… a cow in tiger skin! Its a Cow Parade.

What is CowParade? (from www.cowparade-eu.com)

CowParade is dedicated to the philosophy of promoting public art, by bringing together the artistic, business and local communities in a city, in creative and innovative partnerships for the enjoyment and participation of everyone. It’s also about having fun!

Life-size cows, made of fibreglass, are sponsored by businesses, painted and decorated by artists, then displayed on the city’s streets to create a free, fun and interactive art event, unlike any other public art exhibition before.

The cow shape has proven to be an ideal canvas for artists working in any medium; its broad flanks allow an artist’s work to be seen over a large area while the small, more intricate curves – haunches, udder, face etc – challenge the artist and allow you, the audience, to truly appreciate their talent
