I'm Brendan...What's Your Name?


"The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you."- Brendan Behan
here's a study of the great Irish playwright Brendan Behan. i was commissioned out of college to paint a portrait of
Behan by an Irish Bartender who owned the local pub i frequented.(lived in) i actually drew this study in that bar and after
having one too many, showed to the barkeep to get his approval, folded it in half and tucked it in my pocket...
when i realized the next day that it wasn't a half bad effort, considering the environment it was produced from, i was sorta
pissed i folded it...i actually like this sketch more than the painting....which still might be hanging by the bar in Molly's
on 3rd avenue in NYC....cheers!
