Exactly this. What a gift for Harry, what a gift for yourself.

Awesome ways, for someone else to "eye" my older brother Harry A, Jr. He really was a Legend... ♥️ed by most who knew him, 100% had your back, and, on and, on...!!!

You knew him for longer than anyone else Paul, but you’re right I did “‘eye” him and it was a great way for me to feel a connection with him.

Thank you so. I think we should all make a pack to do this for each other. What do you think?

Ways of looking at Harry. Apart from the fact that I’ve always loved that we humans have invented so many ways to offer tribute to LIFE itself & a life in particular—effigies, death masks, portraits and on and on—this visual dialogue between you and my father is exceptionally exceptional. I wanna nail it up on a wall somewhere! Viva Josh! Viva Harry! ❤️

Man I’ll heart this for miles…….

Thank you much brother. Let’s make a pact. I’ll draw you and you’ll make a little mini movie of me.

Love it. Let’s do it. I think a Super 8 portrait is the way to go for you. BTW - totally aside from your drawings, you have a gorgeous way with words and a huge heart, amigo. It’s moving and a pleasure to be included in your thoughts via this substack thingie. Keep it coming por favor.

Oh man. You’re making all the work I put into this worth it. Big mezcal hugs
