Dueling Banjos


The incomparable Guy Francis recently started a, uh... well, I don't know that "contest" is the right word. In his own words:

I bought a banjo the other day. I can't play it... yet, but it is something I've alway wanted to try. Besides, my friend Stacy Curtis has one, and I can't think of a more appropriate way to duel him. I painted this during a video chat with Stacy. To show him my freaky painting skillz and my new banjo. The duel is on! ...or it will be as soon as I learn to play something.

The gauntlet has been thrown. This is officially a dueling banjo pig thing. Come on Stacy, where's yours? Heck, anybody else wanna duel too?

So I thought, what the heck? I admire all of these guys and thought I'd toss my hat into the ring. (Click to view larger). Be sure to check out all the other illustrators and their pigs with banjos.
