COW PIE SCULPTURES `DEPOSITED' IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- An artist in Chicago is gaining a reputation as the "Andy Warhol of cow pies." For about a week now, artist Robert Koutny has been "depositing" tiny statues of cow droppings underneath bovine sculptures which are part of Chicago's Cows on Parade art event. Koutny makes his "ca-ca" creations out of foam that resembles the texture of cow flops. He then decorates them to honor the large cow statues they sit under. One piece -- called "Moon Pie" -- is a hunk of cow dung with miniature astronauts and lunar rovers atop it. It's sits under the posterior of a cow jumping over the moon. Although the work of the "cow pie Picasso" isn't sanctioned by the city, Koutny says Chicago police haven't yet raised a stink.
