Jim Morrison Mug Shot 1968 Painting Sepia Canvas Print

Pop art comes in many forms. I consider this one of them. You'll find here an ACTUAL painting of a, REAL, mugshot of Jim Morrison. Stopping off at the Pussycat at Go-Go on a trip to Las Vegas with writer Robert Grover, Jim Morrison decided to smoke a cigarette like a joint and one of the security guards at the club wasn't having any of it. Morrison reportedly told the guard, Why not jump up my ass? And was met with a billy club to the head. The pair was arrested for public drunkenness and disturbing the peace. Morrison wasn't finished, however, taunting the cops in the parking lot of the club and at the police station. The pair were strip-searched, doused with a boric acid powder and thrown into a cell. Morrison continued to yell profanities at the cops until one of the officers said that he would see Morrison in private when he clocked out. Fortunately, Grover's girlfriend was able to post bail for the duo before that meeting took place.

Cool. Original. Affordable. Ready to hang. Welcome. Here you'll find some of my fine art pieces: stuff that seeks to comment on pop culture, celebrity, nostalgia and the current melees' of information received through technology. As a syndicated, daily-newspaper cartoonist, some of my work expresses my joy and love of comic art and my frustration at remaining a relevant pop artist in a progressively ailing industry. I achieve these goals by using a combination of, humor, iconology, parody, association and dichotomy, fused and juxtaposed to create high quality drivel. Don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like me to sign your print. I'm also happy to do custom portraits and commissioned artwork. In addition, color palettes can be changed...
