  1. Interesting, Barry, though don’t you find the repetitive use of lizard heads sort of monotonous after a while?

    Well, even though I’m a bit puzzled about the consistent usage of lizard heads myself, overall I just love the eery yet playful graphic design.

    I don’t see any copyrighted imagery in those collages… You?

    Now that’s more like it.

  5. I have a feeling FZ would have appreciated these(?), in that the Lizard Headed People fit into his love of old B-horror movies–The Creature From The Black Lagoon, giant spiders, etc. (Plus the artist’s use of many b&w images.) They do convey a certain feeling of Cheepnis!

    Besides the lizard heads, I, too, like the playfulness of the graphic design. He just doesn’t limit himself to the obvious, but works his collages into a certain conceptual continuity themselves: hints of doo-wop peppered with visual “in jokes” between FZ, Beefheart, and a nod to 60s pop art.
