Spike Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Let me show a "cleaner" pic of the artwork and the picture the artwork was based off. Link to post Share on other sites
American Graffiti Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Blimey I knew that artwork so well as a kid It seems in the original photo the asian guy isn't even wearing tiger stripe top but a French para smock That would be late if indeed it's 1970, no?? Anyway cool, thanks for showing, took me down memory lane AG Link to post Share on other sites
kammo-man Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 You are correct that he’s wearing a French smock.Myself and Spike went into a vortex over the painting and photo when he turned up a clear image in a magazine.After long talks we worked out what was the hat.A police pattern boonie cut down with this tape added.So I made one.The chances of my finding an original is zero but I have also known this art since got to be the mid 1980s when war in peace came out.Owen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
