This week, my task was a little easier: Make a commemorative photo montage of a recent "breaking of the fourth wall" in which my Hambone character "visits" the real-life Robertson family made famous on the A&E series
Duck Dynasty. (It's not the first such crossover; recently, I used a photo of Miss Kay and some of her friends to
help expand the Barefoot Mommas Club.) This would result in an episode in which Hambone visits the company headquarters (and even makes her own duck call with the infamous "
blow me" phrase on the package, which Willie has her cross out before she leaves), takes a trip to one of the Robertsons' duck blinds and pretends to hunt even though it's out of season, and steals an ATV from Jase and almost flips it over. At the end, she leads the end-of-show prayer, which no woman has actually done so far (usually Phil does it).
This shows Hambone as she's about to hunt, in a camouflage shirt and face paint on her, to make sure she doesn't blend in with the ducks. The pose is based on a picture of "farm to table" chef
Georgia Pellegrini, who often hunts for her food. I took a selection of Pellegrini's body, set it aside, then placed and shaped Hambone's face and shirt so it would match the dimensions identically. The clone-stamp tool was used to account for the differences. The hat came from a picture posted at the
Sportsman's Warehouse website, then re-sized and skewed the hat to fit on Hambone's head.
