American Continental Congress

This is the day in 1776 the American Continental Congress voted for independance from England.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the document called The Declaration of Independence and the Congress voted
12 - YAY, 0 - NAY with New York abstaining. "The business is done." John Adams said.
When the Declaration was agreed on, two days were allowed to "clean up" the document before it was
publicly announced on July the 4th. John Adams thought the great national celebration should be July 2nd because that was the day the important vote actually happened.

52 Chevy

I saw this old 52 Chevy sitting on the pavement with the paint ground down to the metal, the back window missing and a large bunch of rust taking over and I thought it would make an interesting subject for a painting. Looks like this one had been abandoned and the new owner is in the process of bringing it back to life.

A Really Daffy Duck

I found this Peter Bagge cartoon on "Cartoon Brew" and thought I'd share it since I don't have anything of my own to post. I've been busy with my real job. Excuses, excuses, I know but I love this drawing.

Cocaine for kids? That'll get 'em movin'.


Now this one is down right offensive, but Wall Street  didn't think so. They were catering to thu po' folk who didn't have no money. Jus one cent fer a big ol bowl o' Cream O' Wheat. Yummy!
