One thing I just need help with is any info on where to find [pics of any vintage items..like swizzle sticks, glasses with Logos, menus, etc. from the old Jolly Roger Restaurants of the 60's and 70's. Most or all are gone in LA or changed to "updated", less Pirate look. This is for a painting I am finishing. Some of you may recall the drawing for the painting I posted here a few months back. It's the Hawaiian Geckos playing pirate on a floating pineapple boat with cocktail nap sails shooting grapes with a plastic spoon cannon. I always use "found objects" to create the little things the geckos use in the paintings...as though the geckos find these things to create their worlds. Well, I wanted to pretend the gecko pirates found an old swizzle stick from the Jolly Roger Restaurant and stuck it at the bow as a bow sprint/masthead thingy to add to their "Galleon" theming. I can invent the look if the actual swizzle sticks were not very interesting..but I at least need a few pics of the pirate logo or type used on their napkins and menus..etc. so people recall the reference to those restaurant chains. Anyone that can provide this will be helping me TONS!!! I will post the final result later in the week!! Mahalo!!!!!! THOR
