Cool Novelty Art

[Wiredawg]

Friends

I'll bet some of y'all have some pretty cool novelty art hanging in the house, garage, or mancave. Love to see it.

I just added this jewel I found in Fredericksburg TX at a store that has metal art, wood bars, and loads of novelty art, such as this.

I downloaded the print online as mine is framed, matted, but the glass is shiny, hard to take a pic. How many folks y'all recognize?

Here it is in the cave:

Anyhoo, I think this could be an interesting thread to show off your treasure.

Cheers, Ron

I see my best friend Clint. And who could miss them Daisy Dukes! I think I just heard a door stop!

I see a bunch more but don't wanna take all the fun.

I don't know where you found that but it's waaaay cool Ron

That's neat, Ron. I love Western art. What's funny is I just saw a travel video on youtube that talked about Fredericksburg. Good German food o'plenty!

I received this from a friend for educating him on his new to him Harley and doing some maintenance.

He calls it a Wood Spirit. He hand carved it out of scrap wood from a construction site. I think it’s pretty cool and is now hanging up in a corner of my garage. The story behind it is worthwhile and it becomes more valuable to me for the reason he did it. That was very cool of him.

My great grandmother made this in 1904. I think the picture may have come from a magazine and she attached it to a piece of plywood. Then, she burned the border design and outlined the picture with an iron of some sort that was heated in a coal oil lamp. The second picture gives an idea of the texture. She signed her name, where they lived, and the date on the back.

I like it...very unique and cool with a story.

WOW! How wonderful... a family heirloom.

EDIT: That is SOOO cool, I'm going to print it, frame it and ADD it to the mancave.

Ron,
My wife's phone takes much better pictures. I'll get it in some good light and try to get a nicer shot with hers.

This picture was promised to me, probably thirty years ago. It had disappeared and was just located last summer.

[Wiredawg]

Thanks Bud!

Ron,

You have a PM.

That's a cool print Ron. Saw a lot of faces but the ones that stood out was Gus and Cap't from Lonesome Dove. We just finished watching it AGAIN last week or so. And the autographed pic of them two, wow.

Well, guess I'll add a one of a kind water color my oldest did a few years ago at a Saturday kids day back at Perfection Clutch. She has a good hand and creative sight. I went back to work on a Monday and this was waiting for me.

Last year we were in a antique mall and spotted an ad print and kicked myself for not buying it.

It was an OLD Grandpa type and two or three younguns and a few puppies. Gramps was grinning and pointing to just the spot at the base of the puppies tail pulled snug against the log. One boy with the hand axe raised up a bit another looking kinda sheepish.

It was an ad for the hand axe and the text was IIRC

So sharp, he'll never even feel it.

Now I saw a few MT's from Makers Mark, have you tried Makers Mark 46? A worthy contribution to a weekend.

Ron,

BUMP!

Does your print have a list of folks enjoying a night out?

Somebody has to have some suitable for today's viewing pleasure shop art.

Gary,

I haven't tried the MM 46, but will see if I can find it. Friends and family like to do ritualistic shots. Mmmm.

This week, I'll take the certificate of authenticity and name/location list and post here.

Here's a couple more shots of my collection
This had the light bulb at the top of the teepee, I moved it behind the fire for better effect.

And a mishmash of stuff.

I didnt see anyone mention the dog stars. look close.

Cheers, Ron

 

[Wiredawg]

Friends,

Here you go.

and

I've found only one omission... Fred the hound from Smokey And the Bandit isn't named, but is on floor by Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed.

Cheers, Ron

 

[GCroyle]

Ron

not sure what dog stars are but did see on phone MSGT plaques.


And not sure I’d shoot 46 mine would be on the rocks and sipped.

Ya see my portrait?

 

[Wiredawg]

Gary,

Sorry left out comment on your art... very good and great form. I'd hang that in a place of honor in a heatbeat.

EDIT: Dog stars Fred the Basset Hound and Lassie

We shoot and sip... there's nice sensation from both.

Cheers, Ron

I don't have novelty art per say. But, I do have some sports memorabilia. Here is one of my favorites. It is a pic of the game wining HR by Bill Mazeroski in game 7 of the 1960 world series. I had it signed by him at a charity golf outing a few years ago.
