I restored an 1871 newspaper ad for the Crescent City Circus into a 2 color screenprint.

A lot of the text was a really poor strike and so I had to redraw it by hand, one crunchy letter at a time.

You may or may not know, but I’ve spent the last year building a Batmobile. (For the record, I am almost half done.)
I’ve just started a blog called ‘The Batmobile Show’ to share the build and other batmobile related items.

Tune X (Boundless Love)
Track 6 from ‘The Completed Smile’. I used this song as the centerpiece for my SMiLE - it’s the track that I did the most original work on.
Previously this was a forgotten uncompleted Smile gem that only existed as an instrumental track.
I wrote brand new lyrics and melody and recorded all the vocals and uke.
I sped up the original recording to make it a little faster and one half-note higher.
I did all the uke work, including the ‘Cantina’ riff, with my custom Tenor sized Earnest Instruments Ric Uke. That thing sounds great!
The ‘Gimmie That Root Beer’ theme is an homage to the Beach Boys’ song ‘Chug-A-Lug’, a glorious root beer chugging anthem, which appeared on their very first LP 50 years ago in 1962.
Enjoy!
