[AGL] Monuments to bad taste

[Connie Clark]

One of the fotofest exhibits was located at the
warehouse studio of David Addicks.  If you have driven
south on 45 to Houston, outside of Huntsville there is
a giant Sam Houston statute.  Ok, I can appreciate it,
but, before long, I see another giant statute, Stephen
Austin down in Brazoria County seen from Hwy 288.
Hmmm, ok Austin first colony is down there.  

Then appeared this gawdawful head of a woman downtown
Houston - kinda like a Peter Max in three-D without
color.  The Beatles are in a park, and along one of
the freeways are four historical busts... this is
gettin ridiculous.

All done by David Addicks.  So, the attached photo
shows he is still at it, evidently attempting to make
giant president heads to distribute who knows where.

I understand that he and a sponsor proposed a giant
Texas Ranger in Waco, but were turned down by the City
Council who didn't really want it in their town.
