True Stories from Kentucky’s Backwoods!,  Woodcut,  45” X 20”     2009

        Finally…we’ve reached the end of the quintessential guide to being a Kentuckian!  I hope you’ve been taken notes!  As I sit here at my computer typing this to you, I can hear helicopters flying overhead…here in Lexington that usually means that the mountain men are shooting beer cans off each others heads again, a rite of passage here in Kentucky!  You can also find elements that give small towns their charm, their all here…a good ole’ bluegrass band, jug blowers, mudd’n, outhouses, and greased pig wrestling!  If you look close you’ll even find that local celebrity that got drunk with his buddies, built a ramp to the roof of his house, and took his truck for a little spin!  Now that you know the basics you can have throw a rowdy Kentucky barnburner yourself!
