"Scream for Ice Cream"

"Scream For Ice Cream"

By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist

     During my childhood, I remember my father often quoted this particular slogan that he heard on the radio during his youth: "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream at People's Ice Cream Parlor".  From time to time, I still hear this particular line when I am either watching TV or on the radio which I find it odd. There was a time when I was eating ice cream very religiously to the point that I have been inspired to make a sign with this slogan that surrounds that picture of ice cream on a cone.

     This sign is a combination of a wood relief and filigree that is hung by a rope from the top.  Then, I painted it in patriotic colors that are basically found in our American flag which also resembles the Fourth of July, one of my most favorite holidays.  Here in the Southeastern part of the United States of America, ice cream is considered as a treat mainly during warmer weather. However, I one of many people, especially to the who live in the North love eating it all year long.

"Cattle-lac" (Sign)

 

    Here is a sign that I enjoyed doing about a few years ago, and it is called "Cattle-lac".
It is called that name because of people who own or have owned any model of Cadillac
El Dorado convertibles and have them decorated with long bull horns on the hoods  in
addition to adding magnetic cow spots on their cars.  The scenes of these owners decorating
their Cadillac convertible in this particular style have been quite a fascination to me.  From
their decorating their Cadillacs have turned their cars into "Cattle-lacs" have really inspired me
to create this particular sign.
