The idea came from staring at one of Dougs "Swamp Fire" beer monkeys and adding a little of Sam Gambinos's fez and personality. Then playing with his Crazy Al toes and hands. I can't wait to stain this guy and say done. [ Edited by: PalmCityTiki 2009-08-05 18:07 ]

I would love to see the fez covered in leopard fabric with a tassle after you stain him ...just to give it that added something and to make his fez stand out. But that is only my opinion!

I mix a little of india ink into the blacks also to get the blacks ultra deep. That is the secret... I used to airbrush at the Sawgrass Mills Mall for the first 5 years that it was open. Some of my airbrush pieces are on my Deviant Art page.

NAACP. Very nice work, but a might defensive there PalmCity. I don't think the NAACP trolls TC much. But I noticed it's phrased in a derogatory way in your post title. You might want to change it to "It's colored now". Keep up the great work.
