DESCRIPTION
From the beginning I struggled to connect with Duke. He was the face of my art but I kept a certain level of disconnect from him. I considered dropping him for my other cow sona George, but in the end I decided to re-incorporate him. I've included a comparison of Duke's transformation over the years since 2020.
His gold always represented a kind of damage that never quite healed correctly. Like an infectious scar that consumed a portion of his body. I don't think I will ever drop his gold aspects entirely, but to tie in with my own personal growth I've lessened his golden scars in this new design.
