Teton C[o]unty Fair Entry No. 2 - 2010

OK, this is Baseball Head... I'm not going into all the details of the Main title & th' Alt title, all that is in an older post. What IS new is th' nifty display box he is in. Th' guys @ th' glass shop were not able to get my plexi cube finished in time, so I made one myself. I actually found all the stuff in town [THIS town] to get this made. Hats off to K-Mart, 4A Engraving and Scumrise Hardware & Lumber. W/O them, this neva' wooda' happened.

I'll report later on the reaction from th' judges to this years entries. Hasta !

Teton C[o]unty Fair Entry - 2010

Howdee Pard ! Some of yall may recall seeing this in "Older Posts." The first one of these was finished for the 8th Annual Rat fink Reunion this year. Auctioned off for $60 I think. Anyway, I had a "hole" on my wall where the 1st one hung, so I decided to paint one for myself... And why not enter th' fool thang in th' fair while I'm at it ? Gotta' break these Rocky Mnt. types into th' Kustom Kulture kinda' slow like - ya dig ?

This is a slightly more detailed version of the 1st one I painted. Base Ball Head will hopefully be entered in th' fair as well. I gotta' find something for him to live in. It'll keep th' grubby paws from breaking him.

Laterz gang !

Mr. Gasser Shirt Request

Back in June @ the Fink Reunion, the Cassilino's stopped by my set up and requested a t-shirt. Seems th' Mister wanted a copy of the model box art from the 1964 Revell kit on his shirt.
Original model kit box - 1964

I was able to find an original kit in the museum and sketched the design...


Once back @ th' studio I finally had some time to start working on it...

Mr. Gasser

The process started out slowly, a little here, a little there. The week end came and I had some uninterrupted time to devote to finishing it up.

Red & green laid on. Image is starting to take shape...

Black outline. Now that is a whole lot moe betta' !

Finished product. Item was wrapped, packaged and shipped. Happy Birthday !
I received an e-mail from the wife informing me the shirt arrived in time. Ol' boy loves it but is afraid to wear it - he doesn't want to get it dirty !
Fink on peopleez !
