Front of the "Liberty" bill you see on
the right. Super nice pen & ink work.
Sent in by the artist, Daniel R. from
Winter Haven, Florida. |
Lady Liberty stands tall !!! |
. |
| . |

|
.
WOW !!! STUNNING
!!!
Shane S., a firefighter in
Oklahoma City, OK penned this
wonderful gothic look of Abe.
I am lovin' the level of detail here. |
Here's a GREAT one...
Do you know what you can spell
when you black out part of
"FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE" ???
"FART" |
.
Oh my Gosh, more outstanding work !!!
This in from Gevin B. of Seattle, WA.
United

Really nice Gene Simmons work here. |

Sort of a Hitler-ish look to George. |
The pirate theme is popular...
nice sideburn there. |
.
The George as pirate theme continues...
sporting an earring this time. |
|
. |
. |
. |
Local thespian, Michael Mattison
created this fiver of himself &
slyly used it to purchase a burrito. |
.
It appears that a bit of history is
represented in this defacement...
the famous Hamilton - Burr
Duel.
Here, Hamilton has a shot to the head. |
.
Here Mr. Hamilton is looking a bit
scholarly. However, I'm not sure I understand the red eyebrow or the
red 10. |
| . |
. |
. |
"TREE"
Great drawing of a happy tree. |
.
Looks like Mr. Jackson has been
in a fight. Lots of cuts & scrapes. |
.
More unibrow action. Also sporting an
earring & something on his neck. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Very subtle devil work here...
just the faint outline of horns.
Also, what appears to be a bit ear hair. |
.
Did Jackson enjoy a toke now & then ???
"True Stoner" & "Pothead"
outline his puffing portrait.
Also, touts "buy a 20". |
.
"4:20"
You've seen it, you've heard folks talk
about it. But what is it ??? It seems
related to drug culture, but how ???

Sort of the
Jorge Villa look. |
.
Red hair, red lips, red jacket,
red "ONE DOLLAR", red "1's".
What is it with all the red anyway. |
"CASH
MONEY"
with eye-covering cap and
big dollar sign necklace. Yo !!! |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Got some horns going on,
cheekbone accents,
with mustache & goatee'.
Rather strange really. |
.
"Amy's Dollar"
With cute bunny ears &
two big whiskers.
Looks to be the work of a child. |
"Shannon"
Possibly more children's work...
cute little stick figures.
I think one is a boy & one is a girl. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Very nice mustache & goatee',
but what's with the forehead ???
Well, Denise F. writes it that she
believes it's supposed to be none
other than Saddam Hussein.
I can certainly see that evil-doer. |
"The United States of Osama"
Certainly one of the more unusual
George transformations.
Complete with incoming bomb. |
.
George looking cool while he enjoys
a smoke. But what's above the
shades...very bushy eyebrows ???
And over-writing on signatures. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Some outlining, mustache and
goatee', with crazy loopy hair. |
Looks a bit like...
Bozo the Clown
And nice tape job to boot. |
.
"Moo" on forehead,
enjoying a smoke and
something coming from his nose. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Very interesting technique here...
a nice winking Santa paper
pic has been precisely cut out and
glued over George. Well done !!!
Thanks to Don B. for saving this one. |
.
The "Unisex" States of America
Now, what in the heck does that
mean ??? Thanks to Sean for
educating us on the triangle of
triangles - it's a Sierpinski gasket.
A popular fractal.
Here's a site
with Sierpinski
Gasket details...
And a site with many
fractals...
Self-similarity
is a great concept... |
.
Simple eye circles, looks a
bit like marks you would get
if someone played a practical
joke on you with binoculars. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Quality scars and heavy
outlines around eyes & lips.
Smudged before fully drying.
Creates a most unique effect. |
.
"PUNK 4 LIFE"
Abe as a metrosexual done with
a sparkly, light blue pen.
Complete with earrings
and collar studs. |
.
"He Bad"
Bizarre pinhead looking
illustration
with straight mustache and again
with earrings. |
| . |
|
. |
.
"Jolly good show chap !"
Great looking Abe as a member
of a barber-shop quartet.
The monocle is a nice touch.
"CURB STOMP JUNKIE" looks to
be a punk band, retired. |
Back of the "chap" bill...
"Defacing american currency
with pride"
Impressive looking flames
on top of the
Lincoln Memorial. |

"Hi Karen"
With wild looking hair, eyes,
nose & tongue. Strange. |
.
Burrito Wagon Page |
Most unique outline technique.
Gives Abe that chiseled look,
a bit like Mt. Rushmore. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
"Dein Blut und Ehre!"
Translated from German...
"Your Blood and Honor"
strong words indeed.
Thanks to Switzerland's Yolanda S.
for clarification & suggestion the
phrase originated with the
"Hitlerjugend".
Interesting music... |
.
A bit of architectural modification
turns the Lincoln Memorial
into a Nazi party building.
|
Here, the U.S. Treasury has
been transformed into another
Nazi government building.
Notice the "right-handed" swastika,
actually opposite of the Nazi's. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
"I'M COOL"
Along with unibrow, neatly
trimmed facial hair, a few
extra hair highlights & that
great arm !!! One of the few bills
that sports an appendage.
Spent by JB customer David. |
..
Now what's going on here ???
Did someone try to draw a
hairnet on Mr. Hamilton ???
Of course, hats or hairnets are

Interesting political work...
George wearing elaborate
headdress & smallpox sores
while speaking with forked
tongue. "In Harold We Trust"
"Big Chief Sitting Schimel" |
And the flipside continues...
"In Harold we trust"
Clever incorporation of ONE...
"is the loneliest number" |
Nice stovepipe hat with
ridiculously large smile.
Done by either "H.B" or "CMF". |
| . |
. |
. |
Great clown look,
with George exclaiming...
"CAPITAL IS COOL !" |

Glasses & facial hair
are common alterations.

Some are worse than others.
What's that on the shirt ??? |

Some can be strange...
Lennon shades with
crazy forehead line. |
More George coolness.
|
Or just the glasses...
simple shade treatment.. |
|

George looking at the world
through rose colored glasses. |

"for each of the one bell"

.
George with blacked-out eyes,
anti-glare cream & a smoke.
Notice rendering for new "B". |
| . |
. |
. |
George looking rather scholarly.
|
George, again, is looking
quite scholarly. Blue beard &
slightly red hair. |
Nice stylized hair & neck.
Simple mustache & goatee'. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Looks like George got slimed.
Along with funny grin
and beard stubble. |
..
Of course, after he grew it,
he smoked it, put shades on & got
"STONED"
Great use of the preprinted ONE.. |
Dark shades with facial hair.
Notice horns, recurring theme.. |
| . |
. |
. |
Lots going on - horns, tears,
narrow mustache, pot leaf &
the classic juvenile line...
"If you read this you are gay" |
Very subtle hair, devil & fang
treatment of George with silver
pen. Also, some number fill-in &
haphazard doodles. |
.
Not sure if those are horns or not.
Crazy mustache &
blacked in jacket too. |
| . |
. |
. |
Another devil...
with more than horns. |
Nice red pen fill-in,
even eyes, nostrils & ruffly shirt. |
George as Gene Simmons of KISS.
As drawn by Brian. Good job !!! |

George as a Rastafarian. |
George looking hip & cool...

Estaban says - weak & uninspired
beard fill-in. Odd cropping of
serial number to reveal "27".
Code for ???
Clifton suggests...
Police Code for larceny, as "10-27" |
"2002" with smiley faces.
More beard fill-in.
|
.
George as a bunny.
Would Hugh Hefner approve ???. |
| . |
. |
. |
.
Crazy diving helmet look.
Estaban thinks he looks like
stooge "Curly", Mary says he
has a Chinese look. |
..
George has that
Ronald McDonald look to him.
Estaban says he's another Curly. |
..
Very subtle, controlled,
highlighter effect... George's hair,
shirt, also numbers & seals.
An Estaban favorite. |
| . |
. |
. |
Notice the over/under scoring in
"The US of A" line at top says...
"HE ATE ME". Looks like George
has blood all over his mouth & a
piece still dangling. Gruesome.
THANKS to Craig T. for insight !!! |
Interesting outline of ruffly
shirt & neck. Blacked out eyes, mouth & top Fed line.
|
George as an Indian...
simple headdress & face paint. |

A most excellent pict-o-gram...
"screw u" with what looks like an
arrow pointing the backside,
but nothing there ???

"Screw You Over". Thanks !!! |
More excellent work...
"Bravo Sir Lincoln"
Of course the Knight's helmet also
resembles a leather head cover. |

Abe looking a little C3PO,
(not R2D2),
from StarWars.
I was corrected ???, but can't
provide credit - my email crashed. |

"The Devel" (sic)
Only one with pitch fork & tail !!! |
Red pen fill-in...
Gives Abe that angry look. |
.
Champion scribble action here.
Estaban & I really like this one. |
| . |
. |
. |
Glasses are poorly drawn &
ill-fitted.
Low level of effort. |
Excellent Motocross theme...
nice helmet & jump action.
And more homosexuality...
"If you get this money from me
your (sic) gay". |
.
Motocross continues on back...
The "Lincoln Motocross Track" is
being conquered by a "REBEL!"

5 o'clock shadow on Hamilton. |

The Devil made me do it !!!
Horns, hair outline, pencil-thin

Blue ball-point highlights in hair.
