CONEY ISLAND FOLK ART SIDESHOW CIRCUS MADNESS oil painting Feejee Mermaid by Robbie Niblos! Cook

I painted this as a gift to my wife, Jobi for our 10th wedding anniversary. We actually dated 14 years before we got engaged. It is on reclaimed plank wood and done in oils. Tricked out in other Coney Island related material. Hope to do a few more soon!

We NEVER miss a chance to visit Coney Island whenever we are in the big city. It is America’s first amusement park, the birth place, if you will. It's a living landmark that can never be replaced, period. The place should be protected for generations to come. I can't imagine New York without it.

Hey check out our pictures from last month (1/14/12) of legendary guitarist for hire, EARL SLICK at the Irdium. Four feet away from Slick playing "REBEL, REBEL" - priceless!
