An Iguana on a Motorcycle

thCA7R3LS8 Bing Photo

I tried to find the actual photo of “Draco”, who appeared on Animal Planet’s Pet Stars on February 19, 2003. In case you have never seen the show, it is basically a talent show for pets. On this particular episode, Draco’s Competition was a bird. The bird’s owner set up a bunch of rings around the audience, let the bird go, the bird flew through the rings, and back to the owner. Draco, on the other hand, was adorned with a black leather motorcycle jacket, and he rode an iguana sized motorcycle. For the end of the show, a panel of celebrity judges pick the winner. And the winner was….. the bird. Now, how in the world did a bird, who flew, win, in a talent competition, against an iguana, who rode a motorcycle? That’s funny.

Behold! This is the graphite portrait I drew years ago of George Burns!

I will do portraits by commission. If you have a photo that you would like to see reproduced, let me know!
