Indeed it is....

Going MAD with Lawrence Welk

As a kid, I grew up reading MAD magazine with it's unique humor and funny parodies of TV shows and motion pictures.

And I still do, in fact....that where I got my sense of humor and appreciation for pop culture.

Which takes us to my latest fantasy photoshop magazine cover involving Lawrence Welk and his music makers, I think you'll like my parody of MAD doing a parody of the Musical Family.

That Alfred E. Newman cracks me up every time....

You can either meet the wild and crazy Hotsy Totsy Boys or win Ken Delo's shirt

Once again, through the magic of Photoshop....magazine covers of the Musical Family.

Here's one of Dynamite Magazine featuring the Hotsy Totsy Boys....

....and here's a Tiger Beat magazine cover with plenty of Lawrence Welk stories for the teenagers!

Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett and now Anacani

This was in reference back to my previous Tiger Beat magazine cover post....

Thanks to the miracle of Photoshop, you can have your own Anacani poster!

Just right click on picture to save.

Printing an 8"x 11" is simple enough (standard size of paper), but as for a 16"x 20", 18"x 24" or even a 24"x 36" I haven't figured it out yet....work and research is still in progress

We've Got the (Tiger) Beat

Last year, I posted on this blog fake covers of Lawrence Welk and his Music Makers on Dynamite Magazine as examples of how they can attract the young viewers.

You can view my creations here and here.

Yesterday, my fertile mind was at work again, and thanks to the efforts of Photoshop, I made fake covers of the Musical Family if they appeared on Tiger Beat Magazine, the popular publication of pop idols aimed to the teen market.

I think you'll like the results....

Cissy and Bobby are Dy-no-mite!

In between college football and tonight's Welk show, I decided to do another photoshop of Welk Stars on the cover of Dynamite! the 1970s pop culture magazine for kids.

This one features Cissy and Bobby, and it's out of sight!

A Dynamite way to attract the young fans

Remember growing up in the 70s and 80s with Dynamite magazine?

Every school kid anticipated each new issue every month, on their cover featured stars of the hottest TV shows, movies and music of the era.

And that lead me to thinking....what would it be like if Lawrence Welk and his Musical Family were featured on the cover of Dynamite?

That led to another landmark in Photoshopping, and the result was this.

 

  

  

  

Now that's....to quote Jimmie "J.J" Walker....is DY-NO-MITE!

Adventures in Photoshopping

Yeah, I know that I'm bragging....but I can't help it, Photoshop is the best thing to computers since the internet!

And here's a creation that should bridge the generation gap of Welk fans....

Performing together as a duo.....Champagne Lady Alice Lon and the Maestro's Italian daughter in law Tanya Falan!

That would be music to my ears.

Photoshops....Welk Style

I tell you....photoshop technology is great, and if you're a Welk fan like I am....it gets even better.

Here's one of my creations, Rocky Rockwell is joined by Sandi and Sally for another wunnerful music number.

And the number? "I Love Girls" of course!

Photoshops....Welk Style

Welk Stars with mustaches

This concept of Photoshopping is fun....especially on a rainy day.

Here's a picture of Guy Hovis.....

This is what he looks like if he had facial hair.....


He has a James Brolin look to him....the ladies should dig it.
