Big in Japan



I think this qualifies. What if Elvis had a mutant brother/doppleganger that could sing and perform just as well, but had to seek some different audiences?

Side note: this was made for friend and collagist Marty Gordon. Happy Birthday Marty!

  1. As a matter of fact Elvis had a twin brother Jesse Garon Presley who died at birth. This, perhaps, is Jesse performing in a parallel dimension.

    And Happy Birthday Marty!

  2. Gorgeous colors—I love the audience! What's the border across the bottom? it looks like something organic, maybe microscopic...

    1. Thanks! I think the bottom border patterns are blood capillaries behind the eyeballs, from an old 60's ilustration. I did NOT know that Elvis had a twin. Wow! Creepy....

  3. Thanks again, Tim! Love it! I totally thought about the whole Elvis having a twin thing. Did a piece about it years ago.
