Virgil Thrasher, 3D Clocks

Lately I've been drawn to 70's art. It's groovy man. I found the small picture below at an estate shop I like to go to. It's a signed piece by Virgil Thrasher, a silk screen print with reverse painted glass overlay on it. I paid $10.00 for it, so I was pretty happy with that. The Elgin clock on the left was purchased at a thrift store for a mere $3. Actually it was pretty dirty. Cleaning made a huge difference. Not sure if the clock works, it's pretty corroded where the battery goes. 



It's probably going in my son's room, he really likes it. I think it will look nice on his gray walls, it looks a little barren here on the cream color. I think it beats anything you could buy at Urban Outfitter for a lot less.


But Virgil stays with me.

  4. Hi Jillian, I could probably part with it, but first I need to find it. Pretty sure I still have it. Will get back to you in a day or two, as I have a pretty busy weekend.
    Thanks for your interest!
