Aggie and Longhorn in Red Thunderbird Framed Print

This item is a framed art print depicting two anthropomorphic collegiate mascots, a Texas A&M Aggie (represented by a bull/steer wearing a helmet and a 'TEXAS A&M' shirt) and a Texas Longhorn (represented by a steer with long horns, wearing a light blue shirt), driving a vintage red 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible. The Aggie is in the driver's seat, waving an arm in the air, while the Longhorn is in the passenger seat, holding what appears to be a snack or a small item. Musical notes float above their heads, suggesting a joyful journey. The car itself is rendered in a vibrant red with classic whitewall tires and chrome detailing on the grill and bumpers. The background is a plain cream or off-white, suggesting motion with faint lines trailing behind the car. The print itself is matted with a distinctive border featuring a black and white checkerboard pattern on the outer edge, followed by a red pinstripe, and then a solid white inner border. The entire piece is housed within a bright red wooden frame, which shows visible chips and wear, particularly along the edges and corners. A price tag or retail label is affixed to the protective covering (likely glass or acrylic) in the upper left corner, partially obscuring the artwork. The overall style is whimsical and cartoon-like, indicative of sports-themed or collegiate fan art. The visible condition issues are primarily limited to the frame, with the print appearing to be in good condition behind its protective layer. The bright red frame and prominent checkerboard border are strong design elements, likely chosen to complement the red car and the spirited theme. The 'Aggie' mascot is identifiable by the maroon helmet and 'Texas A&M' on the shirt, while the 'Longhorn' mascot is recognizable by its horns and association with the University of Texas. The print is signed by 'Stu G.' in the bottom left corner, suggesting a specific artist.
