Pig | a| sus ( pìg´ əsəs ) ,n.,genitive  Pig | a | si.
  1. A wild immortal four-footed animal ( see: swine ) with a stout, heavy body, cloven hoofs, a broad snout,
warty protuberances, a gnarly mane of dred-like hair, large protruding tusks and a pair of movable external organs for flying ( see: wings ). Pigasi will eat almost anything - roots, plants, bird's eggs, small illustrators.
  
Mythology. Legend has it that the mighty Pigasus leapt fully formed from the blood of the gorgon 'Euryale', having cut her finger whilst preparing a herbal concoction for a relaxing evening 'in'. Though it should be mentioned Euryale sees a lot of things when she's having a night 'in'.

Illustrative genius; the means by which illustrators ( see: draw, look mum I can ) soar into the realms of high-artistry,the Pigasus is considered the steed of Illustrators: "hey dad, I'm going to be an illustrator "exclaimed the youth. "Pigasus" (pronounced: Pig's Arse) replied the father. As one refers to a poet 'mounting the Pegasus' when putting pen to paper, the illustrator will mount just about anything whether the Pigasus is around or not.
When not observing the sexual antics of illustrators or aviating they can be found in the company of large marauding mobs of Centaurs ( see:Solid-hoofed alcoholic quadrupeds ), but, sadly not as often as in millennia past, given that the Pigasi run, Pantheon-sanctioned, 'Dionysian dance-parties©' have left many a Centaur
( and quite a few Titans
) incapable of functioning for weeks thereafter. In fact at one such event Chiron fell off the wagon and ended up m...( Ed: descriptive content deleted, re:non-disclosure pact Chronos vs. Dionysus, what a Centaur and a consenting bovine do in the privacy of a darkened paddock is their own business )

Notes:
1. Never approach them while plucking a banjo or similar musical instrument, avoid wearing overalls.
2. Never ever challenge a flying pig to a drinking contest.
3. If you believe you have seen or are currently seeing a Pigasus and are not of the illustrative persuasion,
   remove any and all pharmacopoeia from your person and take a few weeks off.

Client Personal folio piece.
Brief : As is my want I got into drawing some really funky wings, and decided a warthog would work far better
Medium : Pencil Sketch ( on Cartridge ) 28cm by 40cm : coloured and enhanced in 2002 A.D.
Design notes : I remember discussing with my father how you would clarify the species/genus of a flying pig. He got quite a buzz out of nutting out the latin combinations for its definition, even though i'm sure he thought it was inherently silly.
