Saw the Big John on MS highway 61 with a new paint job.

This is the latest paint job for Big John.
[leo cecil, 01/19/2010]Currently Big John is being painted. Since he does not appear to be metal the primer and touch-up paint is grey and red. Big John stands in a truck parking lot and whether north or south bound you can access the parking lot to get up to see him. Have fun everybody.

Big John is still there and he looks pretty good! Saw him this afternoon.
[Andy, 06/01/2009]The big guy is still up but now features a square section (about the size of one of his hands?) cut out of the middle of his chest. Why chest is cut is unclear.
