The Notorious Alpha Chicken...

Some time back I had an idea for a "B" series...you know, something along the lines of "Miss Chicken." ...and then I was thinking perhaps there should be an "adult" series!...something along the lines of Kama Sutra chicken or something...maybe this fits into the category of B.5?....It's based on a sketch I did of Betty Page on a coffee bag...way back in WI when I was working at this coffee shop in Madison called Cuppa Jo...I randomly started sketching Betty Page because there was a cool photo of her in the paper-- and an empty coffee bag was the nearest paper like substance...I then made a chicken out of it, as this decorated coffee bag was the first thing I came across while in search of chicken ideas...so there ya have it! :)

Karate Chicken...#12A

Today Chicken-san travels back to 1984-- a special time in our nations history, featuring feathered bangs and spectacular bands like Bananarama...Here Chicken-san prepares to dethrone the testosterone driven Cobra Kai-- a quaint little group of martial artists with a fondness for pimple cream and showing no mercy. However, Chicken-san will not be squished like grape. Chicken-san is best around. BONZAI!!!!! (Paint fence Chicken-san...sand floor)....

Yuppers :) This is another artist's trading card, created using gouache on watercolor paper. Can ya tell I'm a child of the 80's? Go Ralph Macchio! :D

Mr. Chicken Loves His Rubber Ducky...#11A

After a long and adventurous weekend, it is time for Mr. Chicken to take a nice warm bubble bath with his special friend-- Rubber Ducky!!! Not only he is cute, yellow, and chubby... he makes bath time lots of fun! WAK WAk!...

This is the latest in my Mr. Chicken series :) They are artist trading cards painted on watercolor paper using gouache. The last 2 were custom orders involving excessive amounts of drunken revelry-- fun stuff!!!! ... after all the good times I figured he might need a bath... And you know a bath would not be complete without a rubber ducky! :)
