Dick Locher R.I.P.
My friend Patrick Owsley alerted me that Dick Locher, one of our very favorite artists, passed away at 88! Dick and I had a long chat about his Ronald McDonald painting series from 1970, after I picked one up. Kroc hired him, after trying to get Norman Rockwell. Locher exceeded expectations, just as he did with Dick Tracy! I look at his Ronald painting every day. Rest in peace. #dicklocher #chicagotribune #naperville #dicktracy #ronaldmcdonald #raykroc

The Starving Artists by Paul Coker, Jr.
Today we are mixing music with Rankin/Bass! As I was packing up stuff I realized, oh yeah! There is a music and Rankin/Bass piece that Rankin/Bass designer Paul Coker Jr. did of us around 2003. He captured me as a Rickenbacker 12 string player with a butch haircut looking like a singing chipmunk 🤣 My sister Lindsey joined us on tambourine and vocals at the time and Tom Margaritas played a lightning fast Fender Guitars. Love it!

Artist Nick LoBianco
I wonder how many people know that Nick LoBianco designed the cool Monkees logo? He also did the art for The Monkees lunch box and other cool lunch boxes like Lost in Space, Family Affair, The Brady Bunch and more. He was the ghost artist hired by Schulz for post 1966 Peanuts merchandise. He hired my late friend Jack Davis and artist Wally Wood to do the art on their famous lunch boxes too. #nicklobianco #themonkees #lunchboxes #michaelnesmith #mickydolenz #petertork #davyjones #lostinspace #alladin #thermos
