These pictures were my Christmas present last year from my mom and dad. My dad drew these pictures of my boys. Aren't they unbelievable?! They are charcoal drawings. The pictures behind these ones are 11x13, so you can get an idea of how big these drawings actually are. My father is so talented! The one on the left is Jeremiah. The one in the middle is Jordan and Isaiah is on the right. The boys were all about 18 months old in these pictures.

Last week, Nunny got one of the three pictures Uncle Fran drew for the Club (the new owners were going to throw them all away; somebody else also kept the other two pictures).
What were the pictures of Tony?
The one Nunny has shows a bartender serving two customers. The bartender is Dennis the Menance with a mustache, which is supposed to be Pappy. Another said something like "Keep this club clean by orders of Esther and Kathy". The last one was a guy in a boat passsing a signpost that said Brownsville Road.
I'd like to find out who has those pictures. They'd give them up to the artist wouldn't they? And if they wouldn't, I'd pay to get them back. We'd frame them and display them I think. I still remember the Sunday morning when I drew them. It was all just artistic freedom that day. I just winged it. I used the comics as models but made the drawings relevant to the Italian club at the time, while poking a lot of good fun at my friends and relatives.
