Legendary King of the Junkyard, Rockin' Jelly Bean's crowned Sir Rat Fink, a 1st print screen print numbered of 300 and initialled RJB, presented in a black wooden frame.
The Piece
Rat Fink, the bug-eyed, green-skinned rodent that Ed Big Daddy Roth drew as an antidote to Mickey Mouse in the early 1960s, is the patron saint of hot rod culture, and Rockin' Jelly Bean has drawn him more than once for the Japanese custom car scene.
In this sheet the rat is crowned king of a scrapyard heaped with wrecked cars, his RF monogram blazing on his chest, a top-hatted ringmaster perched on one ear and a vulture with cherries keeping watch. Three blonde pin-ups in RF witch hats and bikinis lounge at his feet, and a banner below proclaims Sir Rat Fink, Fearless Leader.
The lower margin is marked 1st Print and numbered in an edition of 300 with RJB in pencil. The sheet sits in a slim black wooden frame, ready to hang.
