Yo Gabba Gabby Hayes

Today something a little side-kicky, so Gabby Hayes is our subject.
Enjoy dad-gummit!

"C'era una volta il West"

Today we have Henry Fonda from the epic Leone film, "Once Upon A Time In The West". Fonda, as "Frank", is one of the best bad guys ever. Those blue eyes. Pure bad-ass.
Also, a huge THANK YOU! goes to all that emailed or sent in a FB comment about the blog. It means a lot.
Thanks & enjoy!

Have Markers, Will Travel

Well it's a new month and a new theme at the blog. This month will tackle "Westerns".  I've got some fun stuff picked out for the coming posts. So...for the first one I chose Paladin from the TV series,"Have Gun Will Travel".
Just a pure leathery bad-ass.
His mustache was awesome.
Enjoy partners.

"Who Run Barter Town?!"

So a funny thing happened here in nerdsville. I was working on this illustration of "little person" Angelo Rossitto, when it hit me. Angelo, who was in the movie "Freaks", was also in one of my favorite movies, "Max Max: Beyond Thunderdome". Research on the internet is full of wonderful worthless information.
He was the "Master" of Master Blaster. Huh? What?
That's right. It's a nerd thing.
I had no idea that the little guy that danced on the dinner table in Freaks was the same little guy that yelled "Who run Barter Town?" to Tina Turner.
Well ain't we a pair, Raggedy Man.

The Living Skeleton!

We are getting close to the end of "Circus Freak" month. But I have a few more doozies before we are done. Today it's Peter Robinson aka "The Living Skeleton". It is said that he weighed in at a whopping 60lbs. And of course, he was married to the fat lady who weighed around 460 lbs.
And yes, her name was Bunny.
Enjoy.

The Bearded Lady

A rare Saturday night post. Shows you what I do on a weekend, right? Oh well, here we have a drawing of my mom. No, not really. Today it's Lady Olga Roderick the bearded lady.
Enjoy!

"Schlitzie the Pinhead"

We continue the freak-fest today with our fellow pinhead, Schlitzie. Gooble gobble one of us.
Enjoy!

"The Human Caterpillar"

Today we have "The Human Caterpillar", Prince Randian. The man was born without limbs. He could also light a cigarette with his mouth. If you don't believe me, go watch "Freaks".
In case you are wondering... It doesn't show him go to the restroom.

Koo Koo The Bird Girl

Well, another day... another freak. This one best known from Tod Browning's cult film "Freaks".
Gooble gobble one of us...

"Sealo" The Seal Boy

Today we have "Sealo". Again great story, look him up. I started working towards a different approach with my styling this time. It might be a slight one to start. Got some other ideas of how to approach styling. We shall see.
Tons more crazy freaks lined up this month...
stay tuned.
Enjoy!
