THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST WELL KNOWN CARTOONS, AND THE ORIGINAL COLOR PAINTING VERSION IS UP AT THE BOYLESTON CHESS CLUB NEAR BOSTON, WHERE MY BROTHER THE GRANDMASTER SOMETIMES REIGNS HOST WHEN NOT CHESS COACH FOR MIT.
LARRY HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ME DURING THIS CRAZY PHASE OF NEARLY GOING HOMELESS, SHELTERING FRIENDS, WORKING ON A HOMELESS SHELTER, SERVING DINNERS WITH MOM AT THE ONE NOW SET UP. ERIC AND I WORKED ON THIS, TAKING OFF WHERE JENIFER HAD STARTED HERSELF, AND FOLLOWED UP WITH SUCH AS MARK RANDY, AND OR COURSE BEING BURNED BY MY OWN TENANTS, WHO WRECKED MY HOUSES, STOLE MY PAINTINGS, FAMILY PHOTOS, PERSONAL ITEMS, AND ALL BUT PUT ON A WRECKING CREW ON ME. DIDN'T LOSE ANY OF ATHOS'S CHESS TROPHIES THOUGH, AND BURNED TIRE MAN WHO WE KNEW CHEATED AT CHESS. WE HAD MY BROTHER'S CHESS ARTIFACTS ON DISPLAY ON THE PIANO AND SUCH, NOW EITHER OFF TO BOSTON, OR IN MOM'S BASEMENT OR UNDER MY BED AS MOST OF THE REAL PAINTINGS I'VE DONE ARE. I'M NOT SURE WHY HOMELESS AND DOWN AND OUT FOLK ARE SUCH A BIG THEME IN WHAT I SKETCH OR PAINT, PERHAPS AS TOO DAMN MANY HAVE NO HOME, OR THE INFLUENCE OF CINNAMON KITTY.
AT ANY RATE, IF YOU SEE MARK SOMEWHERE OUT ON THE STREET, OR ERIC AND TERRY SINCE THEY WERE BURNED OUT OF THEIR BUS, SAY HI, AND REMIND ERIC HE IS STILL SHOP STEWARD AND FOUNDER OF THE GRACEADA PARK PERFORMANCE ART PROJECT DUMPSTER DIVERS UNION

MODESTO ALSO FAMOUS FOR THE TRACKS. DRAWING TO LEFT IS BLACK INK RAILROAD THE RAILROAD TRACKS ARE NO LONGER ON 9TH STREET AND THE TRAIN NO LONGER PASSES BY ALONG THE CANAL NEAR OLIVE AVENUE, AND UP VIRGINIA PAST LUCINDA'S HOUSE, PAST O'BRIEN'S AND ROSEBURG SQUARE WHERE MONDO JAVA WAS, I APPARENTLY LEFT THE ORIGINAL OF THIS ONE AT BAGEL JUNCTION NORTH.
WELL, SO MUCH FOR THE ART SCENE, THOUGH THIS ONE DID WIN A SMALL AWARD IN A LOCAL SHOW.
