    You know the one, Elvis painted on a black velvet "canvas". They used to be sold along side Jesus at street side markets and county fairs.

    Live in Indy, get down to Scottsburg/Clarksville area fairly often. Send me a pic and what you want for it.

    I will trade my FRAMED 24"x 40" velvet Elvis for a mint Colt Python with matching box. Pm me for details and photos.

    I looked around google images for current velvet Elvis'.

    Not a good one to be found with him singing in his sequined white outfit. I remember them down in Tijuana for about $20 back in the 70's. The artists must have died since then because the current paintings just don't have that "special something".

    This was the best of the lot:

    OK, now that I know this is serious I am in on the hunt to help BBI find a good one. Come on people, let's make that Christmas miracle happen for someone!

    The current Mexican produced ones are junk that look like the painter has only heard Elvis described.

    I'm locking the thread, but if anyone has an actual vintage one let me know.
