Peter Karpick has been building a collage series incorporating FZ quotes and related imagery. Here’s one:
Weird and oddly compelling. Check out his Flickr stream.

Interesting, Barry, though don’t you find the repetitive use of lizard heads sort of monotonous after a while?
3…2…1… Cease and Desist!
Iguana Mask Replica?

Well, even though I’m a bit puzzled about the consistent usage of lizard heads myself, overall I just love the eery yet playful graphic design.

I don’t see any copyrighted imagery in those collages… You?

Now that’s more like it.
I have a feeling FZ would have appreciated these(?), in that the Lizard Headed People fit into his love of old B-horror movies–The Creature From The Black Lagoon, giant spiders, etc. (Plus the artist’s use of many b&w images.) They do convey a certain feeling of Cheepnis!
I like them. Because they are eerie!

Besides the lizard heads, I, too, like the playfulness of the graphic design. He just doesn’t limit himself to the obvious, but works his collages into a certain conceptual continuity themselves: hints of doo-wop peppered with visual “in jokes” between FZ, Beefheart, and a nod to 60s pop art.
