"No One Wants to Play Sega with Harrison Ford", 2006, Oil on Canvas

Brandon Bird, a 30 year old artist from Carmicheal, California,  has a significant cult following for his tendency to paint figures from history and popular culture such as Christopher Walken, Chuck Norris, and Abraham Lincoln, in absurd situations. He has also organized three "weird art shows": Law & Order: Artistic Intent consisted solely of paintings inspired by Law & Order, The Norton Anthology was a group of portraits of Edward Norton, and the western-themed Days of Boom and Bust: New Art from the Gold Rush. On January 20, 2004, Bird's Law & Order-inspired coloring book, Law & Order: An Adventure to Color!, was presented to the show's star, Jerry Orbach, on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
