Good job Sam...as a loyal fan of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Von Dutch and Robert Williams, I appreciate your work. But as a fried chicken lovin' mofo I still prefer Popeye's. |

Nice piece! Love your striping & you really nailed that "crazy-like a fox"/crosseyed look on the Colonel too. Am I the only one that always confused the string tie thing and saw it as a cartoony "body" on his huge head? [ Edited by: Kava King on 2004-01-18 08:29 ] |

Thanks all. Yeah, come to think of it, he did look kind of big-headed and was a little cross-eyed, I guess... hmmmph (ha). It's 18" x 19" on black baked enamel aluminum with rounded corners. As for me, I kind of like Church's chicken now and again. Maybe I should've painted LaWanda "Aunt Esther" Page... |

Yeah, sam that is cool. I dig the pinstripe look. Have you ever done any cars? A Bob's big boy would be a cool icon to mess around with too. Chongolio |

Yeah, I've done quite a few cars, motorcycles and boats (and helmets or anything else that can be striped). I really do like the Big Boy icon too. In fact, I have one of those old Big Boy figure banks up on our cabinets. I may do something with him on it because I've always liked the character. That Colonel Sanders soundbite never gets old either - always brings a laugh with it. |

Killer, just plain killer. Trying to think of who would be cool in a suite of those. Chicken Suite: Minnie Pearl, Kenny Rogers, Popeye Fast Food Icon Suite: Ronald McDonald, Jack (Jack in the Box), Taco Bell Chihuahua. White Haired People From Food Products: Orville Redenbacher, Mother from Mother's Baked Goods, Uncle Ben. Visually related only: Andy Warhol, Peter Graves, Barbara Bush, Don King, Jesus. Once again, that is a super cool image you made. [ Edited by: Geeky Tiki on 2004-01-19 19:36 ] |

Yeah, I used to love those 70's Saturday morning cartoons. There are a ton of those that would look good. Remember "Charlie Chan & the Chan Clan"? |
