This is Elvis Buddha, the infamous and celebrated spiritual novelty invention by the artist, Howard Gindoff. Created, discovered, invented almost by accident in 1994, thousands of Elvis Buddhi have been sold in some of LA's chicest shops and online, and given as gifts, written about in LA Magazine, and have traveled around the globe spreading peace, humor and enlightenment to foreign lands. They have come to grace the homes of the rich and powerful as well as the humble and humorous. During one busy period shortly after their "discovery," they became a favored gift item of big time movie directors, and from the start and to this day they've always been a valued good luck fetish for fortune seekers traveling to Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Monte Carlo. Each and every one of these unique and cheesy messianic figurines is the original hand-sculpted and signed work of just one man, Howard Gindoff, who continues to produce them in limited quantities to this day.....
