St. Dean

LASTdean.gif

Playing around with the concept of depicting celebrities as patron saints. This, of course, is St. Dean, patron saint of smokers and cocktail waitresses.

I like the patron saint theme.

Choosing Dean as the patron saint as "smokers and cocktail waitresses" is perfect for him.

Hey, thanks....

I'm working a Barney Fife thing right now. He's not wearing any saintly garb, just his Mayberry stuff. Can't see him as a patron saint of any sort. For Self-Important Toadies?

I thought the theme was too much to pass up.

More comin'

BIll:

Wow! Deano! What a guy! Thanks you are now my first check in the morning and a great way to start the day!

Mike:

I've always enjoyed your work, along with Allen's.

Not only do you speak to my kind of "politics", you say it with extremely intelligent concepts and fantastic artwork.

Will always be a fan. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Bill and Mike

Thanks for the kind words. I'll just keep bamging away and see what happens. Nice to know you're digging the work I grind away on, honing that THING.

Alan:

John,
I'm enjoying the new site.

Barney Fife: patron saint of the obvious ?

There's a coolness factor that I'm shooting for in these particular icons I have in mind. Barney ain't it....but he's popping up soon.

MikeM:

I've admired your work for sometime on the other site (although I was never sure which of you was the artist), and like others, I have a new bookmark.

MM

I'm the funny one. Who can draw. A little.

Stayed tuned....

Lightnin' Roy:

I love this blog. You are just going off in a million different directions of awesomeness, all at the same time. Keep up the good work.

JonW:

Love it...been reading the other site for years. Glad to see this one pop-up, too. Another mandatory daily read for me!

Thanks for your work. And Deano was a very good choice. Love anything to do with the Rat Pack. What about Sinatra as the Patron Saint of Arogance and Confidence?

Yes, it feels like I'm channeling a few different genres but that's always been my goal: Finding what they have in COMMON
