Bob "Daddy-O" Wade (January 6, 1943 – December 23, 2019)
was an American artist, based in Austin, Texas, who helped shape the 1970s Texas Cosmic Cowboy counterculture. He is best known for creating whimsical out-sized sculptures of Texas symbols. He was known for his uninhibited style and received attention as a serious artist in some art circles. Wade made hand-tinted large photo-emulsion canvases of vintage photographs, some of which were exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Wade built a 40-foot-long (12 m) giant, 2,600 pound iguana, known as "Iggy", which sat on top of the Lone Star Cafe in New York City from 1978 to 1989. "Iggy" changed owners a few times after the Lone Star Cafe closed and now resides atop the Fort Worth Zoo's Burnett Animal Health Science Center and greets visitors driving into the zoo grounds.
