My personal genius forced me to avoid tax preparation today to sit down and illustrate Wall Street Icon: The Bull.
I couldn’t decide which set of horns I liked best, so I’ll let you choose. I think it may depend on region…
Contest: Vote Early, Vote Often
Beginning today, I’m holding a voting contest to determine the victor in each round. Those of you who vote AND leave a comment, will be awarded a generous discount on the winning print, provided you voted for the winning print. What the hell, I’ll give you a generous discount anyway

Note: You MUST leave a comment to get included within the generous discount. Our egos are on the line.
I like the horns pointing forward in #1. He looks more like he means business and is going to run someone down!

I go with #1 because it adds to the dynamic flow, moving your eyes forward into the piece. #2 seems to stall the eyes unlike #1 where they keep moving, so it seems more energetic.
Nice bovine btw!

Thanks! I love the energy stocky bulls have. Reminds me of the short kid on the play ground with a really nasty stick.

For some reason bull #2 makes me think of an asian bull…hahah (I’m Vietnamese, btw). But I do like bull #1 because it reminds me of the bull down on Wall St (a la the movie Hitch).

Number one acts as if he is there for you, not cowardly like number two. These days we need faith and a strong Bull Market!!

I like bull #1, but feel sorry for poor bull #2. He’s not getting any love.

Bull #1 is my choice! Aggressive, focused, and strong.
Thanks!

Lisa, I also like #1 the best – more assertive and somehow more positive. (I think he even works well for a ‘year of the bull’ illustration, not just Wall Street!)

Is this bull for sale? I am starting a new business and can design a logo, but I like this… Let me know?

Thanks so much for loving my art work, Robin! Because this bull is tied to licensing opportunities, I cannot part with him. However, I can recreate another one for you for your business.
Let me know if you would like me to send you more information on how I develop logo/ID systems for small businesses!
