American Graffiti Naperville Style

From the time we first arrived in Naperville, I would wander around downtown admiring all the art works we have here. As I became more involved in the community I decided what I really needed was a statue to myself on the Riverwalk. What I will say is "be careful what you wish for". I don't think I'll ever get one of those, but this summer Grumpy and I are making our mark by appearing in the latest piece of Century Art Walk art, Naperville Loves a Parade. The photo above could be a collector's item in years to come. It was the artist's first attempt at me, but now painted over.

This is very cool. It's Naperville artist Dick Locher with his alter ego Dick Tracy. Love it!

Grumpy and I wanted to be known forever more as that eccentric British couple, hence the pose.
I'd also like to be remembered as that cute blonde who never looked a day over 21 but even artists aren't that creative.
