The Finster/Finster Show

Hey Blogsters!!!
Jeff here.
I thought I’d share this awesome photo of my first inspiration to draw in my life. Check out these kids looking at Roth as he draws something. These kids are mezmerized by the Ol’ Mighty Big Daddy himself. Man; they can’t believe it’s the groovy Big Daddy in person! What a mind-blower!!! BLAM!!!
I figure I was around the same age as these kids when this photo was taken. Around 1966.
Roth was the father of monster car shirts, custom culture and father Rat Fink. Roth Studios used to put the coolest ads in Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines through the 60’s and early 70’s. Great monster car art. Ed Newton did a lot of the inking and creating of the art for Roth. Robert Williams also came on to art direct and do shirts as well.

Ed Big Daddy Roth also created some of the most popular show cars of our time. The Beatnik Bandit, The Mysterion, Outlaw. Orbitron and others. Tons of models were and still are made from his cars. Ed Roth was a pure showman and really knew how to promote his cool stuff.

Take care Blogsters and we’ll talk soon!
Your Cartoon pal….Jeff
