from the book, Leeteg of Tahiti...... pg. 16 bottom left corner [above] A velvet painting done by Bill Erwin, a pupil and fellow signman of Leeteg's at the Consolidated Amusement Company in the 1930's. Ironically, in this painting, Erwin copied Leeteg's best selling "Beach Boy,"which was in turn an unauthorized copy of a prize-winning posed photograph by K.K. Tagawa. Jesus! That was the most serious thing I've done on TC in years!! Now, off to enjoy some Hell raising fun! |
