Artist Jason Huff modeled this ceramic teapot after the animated cartoon character Speed Racer. The figure’s gloved hand is the teapot spout (look for the hole), and his helmeted head is the removable lid. Huff painted the supporting base to look like an asphalt track. He used the checkered flag as the teapot handle. The figure is in motion from all angles.
Jason Huff states: “My work is rooted in my own fascination with image and persona in pop culture. Through years of dedicated television viewing, I have developed a deep appreciation for heroic pop personalities.”
