(This story originally ran on yall.com in 1996)

Joni Mabe with Elvis' wart Joni Mabe is an artist who lives in Athens, Ga. Her specialty includes putting all sorts of objects together to form crazy, pop culture shrines as books, postcards, exhibits and whatever she can come up with. And, of course, there's always Elvis...

Some basic stats before we begin the journey into Mabe's wild and wacky world of all things Elvis and beyond...

She lives in Athens, GA...

She has a Master's degree from the University of Georgia in Fine Arts.

Her husband likes race cars.

She likes collecting celebrity autographs, among many other things, of mostly dead stars. She didn't plan it that way it just sort of happened. The Classic Postcard Book images exhibit Mabe's knack for picking out the unusual and the eccentric as pop culture icons while the Poster Book gallery exhibit will tell you more... her brush with a dead chicken, the Elvis wart, the "maybe Elvis toe-nail clipping," the oddity museum, dead stars and all.
