Fat Johnny’s Giant Atomic Vegetables

We are destroying our planet, and particularly in the 40’s and 50’s,  had a great time doing it. This image, influenced by vegetable crate illustrations of yore, was created on the notion that...what if destroying the world can be like a strange theme park you can visit? Here a smiling couple arrives in a ’51 Chevy and are met by Fat Johnny, a smiling, grinning Colonel Sanders type farmer. He has problems of his own, as evidenced by his alligator tail. He has a two-headed rooster and a three-headed collie (reminiscent of Cerberus, who guards the Gates of Hell). In one hand Fat Johnny holds a pitch fork, while the other is depicted in a Christ-Like gesture...illustrating the good and evil duality of the work he does. Fat Johnny’s own rusted farm truck hides among incredible giant vegetables and the cooling towers in the background hints at how his bizarre theme park came to be.
