Pastel, ink on UART paper

Alleyway, Wood's Buildings, between Winthrop Street and Buck's Row,

Whitechapel. This dark, small alleyway could have been an escape route which

Jack the Ripper used after murdering Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols.

'Works For A Living'

Pastel on Wallis paper

More of my "Working Class American's" Series.

I'm trying to capture the loneliness,
difficulties, anonymous desperation, nothingness, and hard won
hopefulness of the working class way of life in America.
(I know, I grew up that way).

Wild Boar


Wild Boar sculpture (with cat) in my studio.



This is the grinding process that I have to do get the features of the animal to come forth.

It's looks and sounds a lot more brutal than it is. Actually, I'm being very careful.

Messy, messy studio!

Annie Chapman was found murdered in the backyard of 29 Hanbury Street, Whitechapel,

The passageway to the backyard at 29 Hanbury Street. Most backyard's where used as privies and tool sheds.

This is where Annie Chapman went with her killer to do business.

Instead he killed her and left her at the bottom of the staircase outside in the yard.
