Indian Head Test Pattern
On August 23rd, 1938 an American icon was created by an unknown artist who is known as only Brooks. He created the Indian Head used later as a TV Test Pattern when television stations signed off after certain hours. Baby Boomers were greeted with the Indian Head Pattern as early as 1947. The Indian has long been retired since all stations are perpetually on for 24 hours. You can buy the vintage pattern since it was rescued from a trash bin by a New Jersey worker. The faithful old Indian made his final appearance as analog signals ceased to be for the final time between February 17 and June 12, 2009 and welcomed the digital television transition.
In the early 1970s RCA closed its Harrison, New Jersey factory and offices. They hired a crew to demolish the building. One of the men working on the crew found this artwork in a dumpster!
He took the artwork home, not really knowing what he had rescued from a trip to the local dump! Over 30+ years later, he decided to find out more information on what he had found. He asked a few local TV stations, and did an internet search. Eventually he found ME! He offered to sell me the artwork. After a few offers went back and forth, I bought it! Its really that simple!

No Heroics TV Series

It’s not everyday a TV show can capture the essence of super-hero
folklore. The growth of Comic-Con has spilled over into Hollywood and
garnishing box office gold year after year. 2008 being the best so far.
There is no stopping this juggernaut. From ITV in England comes a new
series that emulates series such as Spaced and The Office with a
different spin. The twist being that it is based on the sad state of
reject heroes with sub par powers. This series is very reminiscent of The Legion of Substitute Heroes
where the jilted heroes formed their own club and had hapless
adventures. No Heroics is the title of this paltry six episode series
that awaits renewal and basks in great fanfare from around the world.
America is where this series will take life or remain in comatose right
now. With YouTube spreading the word and the writing of the show, good fortune will be bestowed on this series. Watch trailer>>
