Mike the Headless Chicken

My painting of Mike the headless Chicken is featured in the full length documentary "Chick Flick, the Miracle Mike story".      Mike survived beheading in 1945 in Fruita Colorado and lived headless for the following 18 months.  His story was widely known on the western slope of Colorado and is now spreading to a cult following everywhere.  The story is freakishly amazing.  I had heard that the owner of Mike had taken his headless wonder on a couple of tours of sideshows, I had a huge interest in the sideshow banner art at the time I learned about Mike and created a painting based on what I thought his banner would look like. 

(minus the lightbulbs, but that's what makes it mine)
