Nathan Jurevicius. Harlow. Max Edition Size: 36. 13x17 inch Giclee on 330gsm archival cotton paper. $ 40.00. The original Harlow is done in pen, Ink and watercolor. Jurivicius says this piece is "based on Harlow, a cute but evil Pomeranian puppy living in Providence, Rhode Island.". Cave canem - beware of the dog. Indeed, exercise more caution than usual around this pomeranian! A pooch with a 'tude, Harlow at least has a redeeming sense of style and fashion. He also possesses (courtesy of his artist/master, perhaps?) an appreciation for literary allusion. Our friend is taking HIS pet out for a walk - and this leashed octopus or something recalls to mind Gerard de Nerval, the French writer who ambulated with a lobster because (as we all know) "savent les secrets de la mer." Oh, and Harlow is from Providence, Rhode Island? Interesting. Isn't that where H. P. Lovecraft hailed from? You know, the gentleman who envisioned more than one mystery lurking beneath the placid waves of la mer. This delightful picture is made for the discerning eye. – Robert del Valle.
