"Keep Off The Streets At Night"

The story
behind the painting:
Intrigue, spies, dark streets, film noir... these have all been
strong influences in my life. The secret agent in silhouette is
smoking a cigarette and the tiny red glow is the only color
breaking through the dark blue-gray of the night. The street lamp
is not lit to further accentuate the mysterious mood. This
painting totally inspired a much later SAILOR song, "Keep
Off The Streets At Night."
