From the Manor Walls
These hang on the walls of the Manor itself. The four gents in suits and hats are Vanity Fair caricature prints, plus a Dalí print, Granny and one curiosity off an old sled.
A caricature of a gent in a top hat, arms folded, captioned “an elder son”.
A stooped gent in a top hat and spectacles, clutching a sheaf of papers.
A bald, bearded gent in a long coat, captioned “British rule in India”.
A bearded gent in evening dress, caught mid-bow.
A print of it hangs on the Manor walls (a photo of ours is coming soon). Dalí’s oil painting is held at the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida; look long enough and repeated Venus de Milo figures turn into the face of a toreador. Read about it on Wikipedia.Salvador Dalí, The Hallucinogenic Toreador (1969–70). Image via Wikipedia.
Granny, young and smiling, curls set just so. The print is cracked and flaking, so handle it with your eyes only.
Painted on an old wooden sled that lives at the Manor: a white ringed planet and stars on red, with the maker’s name lettered underneath.
Sketches by Teddy
Pencil drawings from Grandpa Teddy’s binder: family faces, a few movie stars, a squirrel and one very angry Cable.
Teddy was born in Nicholas County to Ulysses “Youie” and Blanche Shaw. (His birth certificate spells it Teddie Emeral Shaw.) He worked as a carpenter and contractor and built many homes in Bourbon, Nicholas and the surrounding counties.
He was a member of the Carlisle Assembly of God Church and an accomplished softball pitcher who loved just about every sport. Later in life, Bingo with friends was a favourite night out. He was married to Helen Whitley Shaw, our Granny, and lived in Paris. He passed away at Bourbon Heights on July 31, 2018, at 96.
He also drew, and he kept the drawings in a binder. Here they are.
Granny, Helen Whitley Shaw. Teddy drew her from her Olan Mills portrait: the same curls, the same earrings, the same smile.
All smiles in a busy patterned top. She signed it “Judy” in the corner, and Teddy signed and dated it up top.
Wide eyes, a sailor-style collar and three little buttons. A small snapshot of a young boy is still clipped to the corner.
A boy with a fresh haircut in an open-collared shirt, drawn in a light, careful line.
A grinning baby sitting up with a tuft of hair on top, labelled “Gregory” at the top of the page.
A squirrel on a log with a nut in its paws, under a border of leaves. The label sits up top.
A mother and baby beside a tall arched cradle, under a hanging sign that reads “Susie.”
Marjorie Reynolds was a 1940s film actress, best remembered for Holiday Inn (1942). About her.
Faye Emerson was a 1940s film actress who went on to host her own TV talk show. About her.
Barbara Lawrence was a film actress from the late 1940s on, in pictures like Margie and A Letter to Three Wives. About her.
The pianist himself, mid-grin at the keys, in a bow tie and a striped jacket.
Cable, drawn from a comic book cover for his grandson. This one got a frame of its own.
The Robert Bohn Wing
Originals by Robert Bohn. He also sent a run of mail art: the painted fronts hang here, and the hand-lettered backs are sorted in the Post Office. His animated BoneHeads are down the hall in the Annex.
A mixed-media head drawn on deckled paper.
One enormous eye in red and purple marker. It does not blink.
A mossy tower of crowded creature heads and eyeballs, rising out of a cobblestone land.
A patchwork creature with a machine for a head, all pipes and eyes.
A big-eyed bulb of a head with a dripping chin, plus the artist’s pencil notes.
A tangle of white-robed figures with orange hands, wrestling on a blue mat.
The painted fronts of three mail-art postcards, every inch packed with pattern and teeth. Their hand-lettered backs are pinned up in the Post Office.
DuckBlob
Hand-drawn sketch cards, each one an original, plus prints and a zine, all by DuckBlob.
Five tiny originals in sleeves: a blocky face, “Noodle Bird”, “Bell Pepper Billy”, a swirl-eyed head and “SKULLZ”.
“Bad Baby”, “Muscle Bird”, “Cloud Man”, a skull, a “TNT” zombie, “Kisseth the Ring” and a zine page.
Celery
Canvases by Celery, an old friend of Shaggy’s and an artist.
Santa’s face in red, green and white on a small canvas, signed “CELERY”.
Two black airships trail their lines over an orange dusk. Below, a diver in an old brass-helmet suit and a boy in a blue hat with a red ray gun. Signed “CELERY”, lower right.
The Scrappy Wing
Every piece in this wing is a Scrappy original: drawings, fair ribbons, 4-H photography and one hard-won derby trophy.
Crayon robot: grey, red eyes, claw hands.
The whole family, one sheet each: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
Half mouse, half pig, all scribble, with a red tail.
Dripping block letters, swirls, lightning and one small figure.
A cracked yellow skull in shades, on blue fuzz.
A blue one-eyed horned monster, mid-scream, on orange wings.
Marker and pencil, with the blue first-place ribbon from the Bourbon County Fair in Paris, Ky.
A 4-H photography entry: a glass-roofed hall, several floors deep.
A mounted photo print of a huge Art Deco half-dome hall with a giant flag.
Three spin-art splatters: yellow and blue, orange and blue, green and red.
Outlaws class, 3rd place, 2018, with the cars that earned it.
A pink, melting head with bloodshot eyes and a green glow.
Ink
One piece in the collection goes everywhere Shaggy goes.
Worn, not hung: a rocket ship, a DNA helix, a green planet, clouds and flames, on Shaggy’s arm. Andrea Wiseman founded Wildwood Flower Tattoo in Richmond, Ky.
The Digital Wing
Art that lives on screens. Where a piece turned up in Shaggy’s WAX wallet, the plaque names its collection; where it didn’t, the plaque doesn’t guess. The WAX-chain pieces have rooms of their own down the hall: Scooby-Doo × Funko and Cartombs, Boneheads by Robert Bohn, Art of Byron, the GPK Corner and Blockchain Cards.

The peeled end of a banana turns out to be a wrinkled, weeping face. Shaggy just likes it.
A grinning skull-faced kid in round shades and a vampire collar.
The Vault: Funko & Cartombs
Two WAX-chain shelves moved here from the Strange Artifacts cabinet in the front hall: the Scooby-Doo × Funko figures and the Unmasked Mutt from Cartombs. His three pinned favorites stay in the cabinet.

Boneheads by Robert Bohn
A few of Robert Bohn’s BoneHeads from Shaggy’s own collection on WAX. The collection calls them “unique hand-drawn characters using traditional frame-by-frame animation,” inspired by “vibrant electric 90’s cartoons.” His paper originals hang in the Robert Bohn Wing.

Art of Byron
Skulls, eyeballs and things that twitch, from the Art of Byron collection on WAX. The two skulls that used to hang in the Digital Wing turned out to be Byron’s, so they’ve come home here under their proper names.
