Pecorino and Tillamook Cheddar



Here's an interesting pair of cheeses.

Pecorino, native to Italy, who insisted on wandering into his owners photographs adding a 'vital touch' that launched a globe trotting supermodel career and interestingly a match with a female pointer, arranged by a devoted fan.

And there's Tilly. Tillamook Cheddar, named after an oregon cheese, and the self proclaimed 'world's preeminent dog artist'. Biting, scratching and tongue impressions composing an impressionistic image are the methods she employs working with 'shocking intensity sometimes to the point of destroying her creations'. The Village Voice called her "A Sham", Time Out declared her work 'a masterpiece of conceptualism. Her biography is out this month.
