Since I never got to see America Sings since it was removed before I was born(1995), I satisfy myself by collecting items from the attraction. Luck seemed to be on my side when I managed to win a lot of items from eBay. My first item was a LP vinyl record. This took too long to get to me because the seller lived in Hawaii and I live in Nebraska. So, thinking that the item got lost or something, I won another one, which has colorful illustrations by Marc Davis. And ironically, a few days after I won that one, the first record arrived. But I didn't mind, since both records are unique. Then I got a flier from 1975 promoting the attraction, a cast member ribbon, an elongated penny, and a pin with characters from the Old West segment(Saddlesore Swanson and the Boothill Boys). Then a really good friend of mine who lives in California got me a script for the show as a late birthday present. I was really happy, and I keep them in the same box the first record came in.<
I just love drawing these characters. I feel a lot better when I do. You may notice the grey character next to Eagle Sam. I am aware it is not from America Sings. That grey critter is a character of mine I call Dhevil. This was done last year in Art Class with watercolor colored pencils, which suck since they can mess up a perfectly good piece of work.
This was just something I doodled in my free time and decided I really liked it.
Ollie Owl is pretty hard for me to get right on the first try. I just can't draw owls very well.
This is my best piece of Saddlesore Swanson. He started out as black and white until I decided color needed to be present.
The stork in the finale of the show. I am aware he had no name, but something about him made me call him Ozzy. Maybe it's those glasses.
I think this is really, really cool! Your drawings are very good.
