8 1/2" x 11", pencil on paper, 2008
I have drawn, without a doubt, the greatest hand turkey in the history of the world. If anyone can find another hand turkey that comes even close to the realism and beauty of this one, I will send you a $5 Starbucks gift card.
Just as the Indians shared their popcorn and vegetables with the Pilgrims, and just as the Pilgrims shared their guns and dark clothing with the Indians, I would like to share this hand turkey with all the people of the world. Please take this image and use it any way you wish. You can print the hand turkey and show it to your loved ones over the holiday weekend, or you can frame it and put in on your wall. You can copy and paste it into your Facebook or set it as the backdrop on your computer. It's just like they said at that first feast at Plymouth Rock, "what's mine is yours and anything goes."
May this Thanksgiving be the greatest ever!
THANK YOU

im pretty sure the "fingers" of the turkey are supposed to be viewed as feathers....have you ever seen a turkey? they do not have human fingers jutting from their spine. what is your problem? i am going to frame it and show mom and dad. they are going to be so mad at you. happy turkey day brother.

I think in the next year this hand turkey has a solid shot at the number one spot on a google image search for "hand turkey". Right now there are a bunch of kid's drawings of roughly equal quality. All this one has to do is fight through the duplicates and clutter. You can do it, hand turkey!
Thanks for all the support.

Everyone loved the turkey, but don't rest on your laurels. You need to move at the internet's speed, not vice-versa.

Just thought you'd like to know that my friends and I have been using this for three years as our logo for our free Thanksgiving in the park thing we do every year.
