I had to look up Horace Panter, not familiar with ska bands.

It even has a wooden three-pointer

Damn... and it's not in Ze Kollecshun either... :vader:

I figured out what this is about from the artist's Facebook page and website.

His art is mostly making super-sized cassettes. He, Horace Panter and a third artist are having a three-month exhibition at Gibson's London HQ starting February 9th. Thus, the super-sized Bird.

Waaaayyy off topic but here's Horace Panter with The Specials in 1980.
Brings back some nice memories form when I was in the first year of high school. We used to have school disco nights in the assembly hall. Imagine three hundred 12 - 14 year old Shandy-fueled kids bouncing up and down when The Specials were played!
