Sam, Carol's Pub.

Sam Green of Carol's Pub will be retiring in April after 35 years. When asked what he will do with his time, he replied: "Well, I'm gonna wake up every mornin', take my dick for a walk, and maybe do some fishin'..." We love you Sammy.

Off the Bus....

"Off the Bus."

This is definitely one of my favorite pieces.
I scratched this from a b/w photo I shot while getting off the bus at the corner of Lawrence and Western. I had the camera at my waist when I took it. This couple was just so beautifully sad.

Darragh Hogan owns an original print.

Likenesses....

These are a few years old.
I hope to complete many more "likenesses" in the next few weeks.
Mo, Em, Kar, Kev....there are so many I'd love to scratch out!
