I just heard from someone that knew Lowell Grant that he sculpted the original Bob’s Big Boy character that stands in front of their restaurants. Crazy! Lowell really got around! Thanks to Hutton Wilkinson for the information.

But he surrounded himself with talented people and absorbed everything like a sponge.

Here’s a piece about the restoration of Touch Of Evil.
