Maverick Arts Publishing has created a new calendar depicting
guinea pigs going for gold at a huge sporting event like the
Olympics. The Guinea Pig Games 2013 calendar features the furry
creatures competing in events such as hurdles, swimming,
showjumping and cycling.
As you may have already guessed, the guinea pigs weren’t taking
part in any of the events. It’s all digital manipulation. The
animals were photographed in a comfortable studio for no more than
five minutes at a time and with plenty of treats.
Steve Bicknell, owner of publishers Maverick Arts, says: "Guinea
Pig Games is one of our most successful calendars. We hired the
guinea pigs from Palace Piggie Rescue in Crawley in exchange for a
donation. The owner of the rescue site handled the guinea
pigs."
