The One The Pope Declined...

Heh, heh. This started out as a joke with a client who has a very elegant $8 mil home in the Bay Area that we painted.

He was a collector of Bob's Big Boy ephemera. I took a photo of one and manipulated it with Photoshop into the original Michelangelo photo. I told him it was the one the Pope declined....

He laughed, asked when I could get started on it. It's a 4' square mural on canvas/plaster- glued in place after I painted it. That's their dog painted in as a special treat - watching the "Creation of Bob"
