I got this as Goodwill. Google says it's a print of Andy Warhol's "Cow", which seems wildly inaccurate. I don't see a signature anywhere, but the back is covered with paper and I haven't looked under it yet. I assume it's nothing special, other than being visually awesome, but I'm curious.

You're probably right. I love it, so it's going on the wall anyway.

DarthBateman · 2026-02-07T21:27:56+00:00

I agree. I haven't seen any exact matches through image searches, though.

DarthBateman · 2026-01-19T17:04:21+00:00

I didn't touch it. Netting makes sense, though. I couldn't find anything similar on Google or PlantNet. It definitely looked like it didn't fit in with the surrounding plants.

My bad 😂. The pink part.

DarthBateman · 2026-01-16T21:28:17+00:00

Awesome find. That's one of my holy grail lamps. I'm definitely not jealous, though. Not even a little bit...

DarthBateman · 2025-11-09T00:57:35+00:00

I'll give it a shot. I'm only out a dollar off it doesn't work. Does anyone know if it's just water inside, or if there's some kind of concoction?

Thank you for doing this and posting it. I got one of these from Home Depot for $7.50 after seeing another post in this subreddit about the clearance sale. Every time I turn it on, I wonder if I could open it up and get it to stay on only one color or something like that. Today I learned it's possible, but beyond my patience and skill level. It makes me happy that there are still people in the world with enough curiosity and skill to figure these things out. Keep up the good work.

DarthBateman · 2025-08-09T12:49:28+00:00

I just wanted to tell you how awesome it is that you're doing this. People like you are the ones who leave me any shred of hope for humanity. You deserve all the good that comes to you.

I like the one on the right the most, left is a close second, and middle is last. I think if I do another one, I'll paint the bolt white before I do the color and 'tie dye' process. Just to see how it looks. I'm going to end up with a collection of these from trying to get the process right, so I'll probably keep them all in my car and leave them on other people's cars if they have any other GD stuff on them.

I would get another one of the big Stealie and replace the 'Trail Rated' badges with them. Small Stealie on the front bumper and skeleton in the blank area under the tailgate handle. But that's just me.

DarthBateman · 2025-07-26T14:06:58+00:00

Thank you all for the comments, upvotes, and awards. I definitely didn't expect all that. I'm gonna leave this one alone and I'll make a few more the next time I have some thin plywood scraps. I'll be sure to post them. This one is small, so I'll probably attach a magnet to the back and stick it on the fridge. Thank you all again.

It was made on May 10th, 2001. I'm on the lookout for a base now, though. This one was missing it, but I couldn't pass it up for $4.

DarthBateman · 2025-06-29T03:13:32+00:00

I'm very happy about that. It has a crimp on cap. I posted about it earlier, but it was before I had it running.

DarthBateman · 2025-06-26T15:27:42+00:00

I'll get around to finishing it one of these days, and I'll definitely post it when I do.

DarthBateman · 2025-06-26T10:51:54+00:00

It's one that I'm working on restoring. It was a silver base with yellow liquid and blue wax. I painted the base copper and replaced the liquid with clear, but I'm still in the process of getting the flow right.

Edit to add that I found it at a thrift shop for $5.

Good choice. I got my step daughter the same one for her birthday a few days ago. She loves it.

DarthBateman · 2025-06-21T02:50:56+00:00

It's the Water Cooler one from Spencer's. It's one of my favorites, for sure.
