13 ART TRIBUTES to ICONS, LEGENDS & HEROES

Thirteen of my Art Tributes & Fun Parodies
on the
Heroes, Legends & Pop Culture Icons
of My Youth

1. CHARLIE CHAPLIN, no one was funnier without saying a word.

2. BUFFALO BOB, CLARABELL and HOWDY DOODY, my childhood friends.

3. SIGMUND FREUD, a little freaky but he is the father of modern psychology.

4. THE ROCK LEGENDS OF HAIGHT ASHBURY, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead - these guys put the Power in Flowers.

5. MARILYN MONROE, I'll never forget her singing Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend in that sexy hot pink satin dress in "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds".

6. ALBERT EINSTEIN, because his hair was crappier than mine and no one cared because he was bleepin' smart!

7. SALVADOR DALI, because he made it okay to be a Normal Challenged Artist!

8. ELVIS, because he was a Capricorn like me and his music gave me many years of pleasure.

9.MICKEY MANTLE, the man who made baseball interesting to me and who gave me an autographed ball on a plane to Hawaii.



10. ROY ROGERS, THE LONE RANGER and HOPALONG CASSIDY - because they were the Good Guys!



11. SIR PAUL MC CARTNEY - My first crush and maybe my last.



12. DOROTHY, because she came from Kansas just like me and had some sparkly red shoes!

13. THE LOST MUSICIANS OF MY YOUTH - John Lennon, Jimi, Elvis, Janis, The Lizard King, all gone too soon with music unheard.
