"Those Were the Days" is a one of a kind on canvas
in the size of 36" x 48". 
The sides are painted so there is no need for framing.
Shipping is included in the price.  It will ship UPS Ground.

 

I wanted to create a piece that completely captured the innocence
of the 50's & 60's through the images and the colors. 
This was a time when a redheaded puppet, Howdy Doody,
was enough to capture a TV audience--now it seems we need
to see someone eat bugs or get in a car chase. 
Movie popcorn was about 25cents versus today's $5.00. 
The colorful tin toys that were exciting then would put
today's high tech child to sleep, because they didn't
possess sound or special effects.

Remember when television used to actually end late at night
and go off the air with the black and white Indian test pattern? 
Well, no more.  Now you can buy a George Foreman grill at 3 a.m.
or watch a "motivational" investor tell you how to make millions
after they receive your $300.00. 
Wouldn't we prefer a puppet over those options? 
Let's face it; things will never be the same again
which is why I titled this "Those Were the Days."
