How many of you out there (assuming you were born early enough to not only remember the 80's but have actively participated in them) had a pair of roller skates and a "Hang Ten" tee-shirt? Well, I lived through the 80's (showing my age here...) but, alas, I was not an avid roller skater... But, I had an epiphany the other night.... My ducks need roller skates! Upon looking for images of roller skates, I started coming across AMAZING images of roller derby skates and of course all things 80's. Along with that came the iconic Hang Ten shirts with the two little foot prints on the upper left and the rainbow stripe across the chest. It became evident that I needed to put all of these elements together, and so, Roller Derby Ducky was born. And what better day to paint such a painting than on this day of peaceful transfer of power, when so many people out there are looking to smile just once. I hope this painting is the reason you did... :)

:) Yup, I was there. Not really a good skater though. But I do remember hanging out at the rink, because the boy I liked had a job there. Hadn't thought of that in years. LOL
