Title: Another Famous Ozarker (and SDC worker?)
Post by: Joy on April 18, 2011, 01:41:08 AM
So, I knew that Don S. Davis (best known as General Hammond from Stargate SG-1) was from Missouri, but only now, when my friends were watching Psych and he showed up, I finally looked up his Wikipedia page.

Apparently he carved cigar store Indians that were sold at SDC. And looking on his art site, I see he had done a great drawing of Chick Allen and a great painting of what I think is the water wheel at Sullivan's Mill.

Anyone know if he did anything else at SDC?

PS: He also graduated from MSU (back when it was SMSU), where I am attending now!

Any time around SDC must have been in the late 60s or early to mid 70s? I've not heard of this fellow. His artwork is really good!
