incidental depictions of guitars in various media, plucked from my environment.
Liberace and Elvis (Liberace Museum, Las Vegas. I swiped this from the web because I didn't think it prudent to scan the refrigerator magnet version that I have.)
Mezzetin (detail) Antoine Watteau, c.1718 (Metropolitan Museum of Art Birthday Book)
Army Elvis (Russell Stover Valentine's Day commemorative tin, 2002. I must point out that I'm not necessarily a fan of Elvis -- or Liberace -- but I do like kitsch. This tin's appeal was primarily 1) it has a guitar on it, 2) it is pink, 3) it had chocolates inside.)
Big Bill Broonzy Paul Oliver, c.1955 (Big Bill Blues by Yannick Bruynoghe)
Cat-arrh Siné, 1958 (The French Cat by Siné)
Rayon Scarf (detail) (thoughtful gift from friend Mark W., 2002)
Tennessee Quarter, reverse US Mint, 2002 (I've got a bunch of these in my "laundry quarter" cup)
green guitar (the wallpaper on my PC, grabbed from some stop or other in my web travels)
Pewter earrings (gift from sister-in-law Jo, Christmas 2000)
Trader Joe's ad (detail) Fearless Flyer, May 2002 (The Lobster is saying "That's breadcrumbs for the lady, and Alaskan seafood for the King" to which the King replies (what else?) "Thank you... Thank you very much.")
