Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XX: Don’t Have a Cow Mankind

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Well,

Twenty years later The Simpsons are still at it. I had a lot of fun watching The Treehouse of Horrors XX this Sunday. Link to thorough review.

Every skit was a hoot, but my favorite “Don’t Have a Cow Mankind” featured a tainted Krusty Burgers made from cows exclusively fed with ground beef. They show a hilarious diagram illustrating a ground up cow fed to another cow. <BARF>

So, everyone that tries the new burger turns to a zombie and what ensues is a slapstick horror film spoof. Homer becomes a zombie and craves brains but the family decides not to kill him and commands him to behave. He begrudgingly complies Homer zombie style. AHHHAHAHA

Bart eats a burger and stays human. Everyone is cured when they eat from a giant cauldron of soup “the chosen one” Bart bathes in.

I acknowledge these “screen grabs” are a little low tech. They remind of the photos a young autistic boy would bring in for developing at the photo lab I worked at in high school. Every roll contained pictures of the television screen and in most cases the show ALF.

Anyhow, I wanted to show this cool bit of text that flash for only a second before the Zombie segment.
“Don’t Have a Cow Mankind” . Seriously! Everyone just chill out.

President Barack H. Obama Art: MARBLE BUST

Thursday, August 20th, 2009 | Tonky Limited Editions, Uncategorized | No Comments

My Fellow Americans ( and international friends !  )

I wanted to see our President Barack H. Obama as a marble bust in the style of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. So I created this piece of Barack Obama Art using two colors of vinyl (ice blue and black) and applied them to an easy-to-hang grey metal panel (durable powder coating). It measures 18″W  by  25″H.

I’ve decided to make this a very small edition of 20.
Priced to sell at $200. Get yours early!
