Chicken Billy is Artist and Illustrator Billy Hayes hailing from the fantastic city of Fort Worth, Texas in the U.S.A.
The recipe – Take Hanna Barbera, Hulk Hogan, James Brown, Fort Worth Zoo, B.B. King, and Jesus Christ, mix until the image is bright like an angel. Add a pair of cowboy boots and jeans, some Mexican beer, your choice, and put it all on a page using vector shapes.
Well then… there you have it! Taste like chicken!
