Props to to Amy I nouye and Stuart Rapeport for restoring this clucking giant to his proper place in the Los Angeles skyline. I’m the proud owner of a tiny Chicken Boy statuette, and since coming across him during a visit to Future Studio Gallery I’ve been totally obsessed with seeing him return to his proper glory. I can’t wait to get out to Highland Park and see him!

I suppose I should disclose that I’m Susan C. Weber… Glad we’re all enthusiastic about Chicken Boy! Great to have this kind of personality in the neighborhood!
I was kind of confused about your “official name.” I changed it in the post. I can’t wait to go see Chicken Boy.
This wonderful, eccentric statue is walking distance from my house. Seeing it almost made me fall off my bike last night.
The Statue of Liberty of Los Angeles returns! Remember what Chicken Boy teaches us:It’s nice to be important but it’s important to be nice.
