This "World's Largest Freak Museum" banner is painted in a more traditional carnival sideshow manner. Unlike my linen mesh banners, this is painted on heavy canvas "Bag Duck" with seat belt webbing sewn around the back side edges, and D-rings sewn in the corners at a 45 degree angle. It measures 6'wide x 10' tall.
It lives in the strange living room of a man in Texas who, in addition to his kids, has quite a wonderful accumulation of freaky things in his house. He roughed out a sketch for the design and from his pencil sketch I expanded the idea into this. It's hard to appreciate the detail and color in this banner from the JPEG; Like wood grains in the floor or the many little undulating hairs on "Billy the Wild Ponytail Boy".
This little picture on the bottom actually measures 6' x 10' and was also originally designed by the "King of Freaks" Lonnie in Texas.
And yes, that's right, they are indeed the World's Greatest Cabinet Makers.
