    Cool artwork
    rocksavedmysoul says (14 Jan '12)

    I really can't make this stuff up...I'm just not that clever.  But today, I was doing a quick return at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi and ended up walking around the mall a bit.  I saw a really cool piece that portrayed Kid by a local artist named Merrick.  It's predominately blue, face and all, modern painting of Kid wearing the usual black hat and sunglasses.  His hair is made up of orange, red, and darker blue paint and these colors are reflected in his sunglasses. I got it in an 4 by 6 inch print and its framed in a white mat with a black frame.  Not very expensive.  Looks really nice next to my Badass lamp.  I'll post the picture on photos.  It comes larger but then so does the price tag.  While paying for it, I couldn't help but notice the clerk's name tag.  His last name was RITCHIE.  I did a double take.  I asked the gentleman if he were related to Kid Rock (Bob Ritchie) and he joked he was his father.  I said "seriously, are you related?" and he replied he really didn't know.  Talk about ironic.  My husband just rolled his eyes at me (as usual).

JB: I'll put my school girl pic back up in a couple of days when I start a different discussion :) Would love to see everyone else's as well. I think that would be a hilarious discussion topic.

No prob. Twenty years from now, if you keep it pristine, it could be worth a lot of money as a collectible. Right, Michael?

Reminds me of "Blue Dog" by George Rodrigue! The more I see it the more I like it, Though, I do miss your school girl pic :)

I mentioned the same thing (changing picture) to the webcrew, but nothing came of it. Maybe they're still working on it..

It is a cool picture! I didn't know you had a BadAss lamp. I got a bobblehead for Christmas. I put it by my bar so I can party with Kid. LMAO!

Hold onto it likes it's a 1 of a kind master piece..Carry it with you, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to one day have Kid MF Rock himself sign it...( I bet that will cure your husbands rolling eyes) (lol)--anyway, sounds cool, can't wait to see the picture ...
