Graphic designer Marcos Duarte Torres was given the honor of designing and painting this cow for the Porto Alegre CowParade. Though the concept for a painted cow may seem silly, Marcos Duarte Torres clearly took the project seriously as reflected by the intricate details of the tribal pattern chosen for the bovinean piece.
