An image of a singer. Obviously, very old. The image has a felt coating that is still in good condition.

The fuzzy painting, a genuine Velvis,[Non-game 1] is a miscellaneous item in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics[]

The painting is a framed portrait of Elvis Presley[Non-game 2] on black velvet.[1]

Locations[]

Fallout[]

Fallout 2[]

Notes[]

  • The official Fallout 2 guide states that the image is on velvet fabric,[Non-game 1] but the in-game description states that the fabric is felt.[1]
  • In Fallout 76, Brother Scarberry mentions investigating a light which fell from the sky, and finding only a fuzzy painting of a man in a blue shirt.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

  • In the real world, Velvet Elvis paintings were a common 20th century kitsch novelty.
  • Their association with aliens in Fallout alludes to conspiracy theories regarding Elvis being kidnapped by aliens, an unpopular but infamous subset of conspiracy theories relating to Elvis sightings.

  1. 1.0 1.1 Fallout 2 Official Strategies & Secrets p.91: "Fuzzy Painting
    This is a genuine Velvis—a portrait of a popular entertainer on velvet fabric. Trés chic.
    Cost: $300"
  2. Fallout Bible 8: "Easy gold - this doesnt help much, but its a start. Look in the pot in aunt morliss' tent and get $100! This isn't much, but in the beginning of the game it helps. There is also a shovel outside her tent. In klamath, look in the golden gecko. There is a closet with a locked door, and if you pick it, you get an elvis picture worth $300! Again, good money in the beginning of the game. Fuel cells - in vault citys vault, there is a vent on level two that rattles. Look in it for some microfusion cells."
