Simi Valley artist Nelson De La Nuez had a booth displaying his humorous mixed media art, including a print of his ``Cereal Killers,'' depicting Capt'n Crunch, Tony the Tiger and other cereal box icons facing a firing squad, and ``The Promised Land,'' which shows Jesus giving directions to Las Vegas to a couple in a convertible. The excitement typically began building as his boat approached the end of the gas pier; he would begin by barking orders to his harried spouse, who stood rigidly on the bow like a conscript facing a firing squad. At the end, instead of the bravado with which Mata Haft supposedly faced the firing squad, Yatkin delivers a taut solo to Bach. |
