Between 1950 and 1955, DeGrazia created an ongoing series of non-representational abstract monoprints. Although meticulously printed with multiple hand-painted open screens, and prominently signed and dated for posterity, these monoprints were never exhibited to the public by the artist. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Best thing Pepsi ever did was release Pepsi Throwback.
Next-best thing is bringing it back, and with probably the most-recognized logo in the brand's history.
Going to stock up big-time on this stuff for this round.
Old-timey Hires Root Beer dispenser. And they were still using it!

I believe every humans has a good friend, sometimes it’s human and sometimes animal. I remember the times when a good friend and I were together; we had lots of fun and we were enjoying the life together, road trips, driving around, going out to parties, chatting, giggling, and walking around the lake, eating out, doing some shopping and doing something out of the ordinary just to feed our curiosity. Sometimes we were angry with each other for a while after we get back to each other we are good again...and I know that does not happened only for us but for others too. But those times will always be the best part of my memories and my life that I will never forget. Let us not forget those good memories whatever they are and thanks God for those good friends, love ones and people who he blessed us with xoxoxo. HAPPY THURSDAY!.
#tbt to our old fish exhibit by the stairs! Though all of our animals are real, almost all of our fish are replicas because it is difficult to preserve their skin without it loosing size and color. Saltwater fish are almost always recreated using entirely man-made materials. A mold of the fresh catch is made and then cast in polyester resin that contains fiberglass. Then the taxidermist carefully recreates the coloration of the fish by painting each scale from head to tail to match a photograph. #good2know #funfact #comeseeourfish #beanmuseum
James and Marilyn Johnson write in the book, “DeGrazia: The Man and the Myths”, “He once made a ceramic bowl for a children’s home near an Indian reservation. A woman working for the home thanked him and told him it would bring in hundreds of dollars. DeGrazia took the bowl back from her and smashed it on the ground, … ” the Johnsons write. “ ‘Now it will bring thousands,’ he said.” "And it did. When Arizona Highways picked up this story, donations for bowl shards came in from around the world, and it brought in $100,000". Happy Throwback Thursday!
