This piece was created by my youngest daughter a few years ago. Wynter has been creating art, ever since she could hold a crayon. She has recently graduated from Herron School of Art, in Indianapolis and is preparing to move to NY for grad school. Everyday I am amazed at her skill and passion for expression. Using her pieces to create a story brings me unbelievable joy. Thank you for your time, in reading my work, but more for supporting a young, incredibly talented artist.

When I met Linda at the shophouse I was already drunk. I was only twenty years old then, twenty and terrified of women.

I originally considered spinning a fictional yarn about the mural I chose for the cover of this piece. There's certainly more than enough going on in the painting to spark any number of creative fires. Heck, it's even got a cat (two of them in the full mural)!
