Kevin Bradley's Barnyard Butcher is a bold, satirical takedown of fast-food folklore and Southern food icons, led by a piercing caricature of Colonel Harlan Sanders. 

Printed using hand carved woodblocks, vintage Hatch Show Print blocks from the 1940s, and one-shot sign paint, the work explodes with vibrant color, dense typography, and typographic absurdity - Bradley's signature visual language. 

The central image of Sanders, surrounded by chaotic slogans like "Chicken Killer No.1" and "A Good Chicken is a Dead Chicken," reads like a cross between a protest poster and a vintage carnival sign.

The piece is loud, ironic, and unapologetically weird. Bradley doesn't simply portray Sanders; he deconstructs the mythos around him. 

From the mock-poetic "Ode to Chickens by H.S. Fryer" to the graphic repetition of "cluck cluck cluck," every line doubles as both visual textures and biting commentary. 

Below Sanders' caricature, Bradley expands the narrative with portraits of Kenny Rogers and Jimmy Dean, reimagining them as food industry assassins - Pig Killer No.1 and Chicken Killer No. 2 - with their own fictitious taglines and mock-confessions.

Infused withe Appalachian storytelling, anti- corporate satire, and a fascination with Southern iconography, Barnyard Butcher showcases Kevin Bradley's ability to blend humor, craftsmanship, and cultural critique into a single electrifying blocks, reflects his deep-rooted history in Letterpress and his ongoing mission to preserve and subvert American visual traditions.
