I was just browsing the internet tonight and came across these pieces of what I will call "Game Show Fine Art". Some of them are different to say the least, but they are pretty good and I must say a pretty original idea. They are by John Miller and from 1998. There are also "Price" inspired pieces here.

Monty Hall looks like he's holding a giant match.

This is some very good stuff. Never thought I'd see fine art inspired by Peer Pressure.

Last picture in this one probably NSFW.  Doesn't matter anyway, box game cover art looks better than this stuff.

GSF's resident art geek approves.
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

I didn't even notice the b********, d******, or v******** (or F***** t*******, for that matter) until your NSFW warning.  Maybe I'm jaded...

Does "ZOG" mean anything to any of you?

Are you talking about "Zionist Occupation Government", or the sex wax? ;)

I've seen these before and I have to say Miller's work is really good if not peculiar. So I just decided to pick up painting a couple months ago and did a few on game shows. I've been meaning to post the paintings, but completely forgot This thread reminded me so here they are. Each are done in watercolor on paper, except for the Family Feud piece which was done with acrylic (not my strong suit as it turns out).

Plinko
Showcase Showdown
Big Winner

These three pieces are part of a triptych (panels done separate; form larger painting when put together) called Come on Down!.

The Feud
Not my best or good even (not a fan of acrylic), but it's a game show nonetheless.

No Whammies!

I'm thinking of doing another painting. Any ideas?

That word.  It almost means what you think it means.

Meanwhile, as long as we're admiring original works of art, I'm delighted that the website housing this piece is still around.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.
