This is a beautiful rendering that is funny with incongruity and informative with a roll call of glamourous mags in 1929.
Personally, I'm not familiar with Anthony Weekly, Oh Baby, Class, Spur, or Mercury magazines, but I'd like to be. Ya really got to wonder what he's got stashed behind the counter, and not just in the way of magazines.
Mamma mia, this newsstand owner looks like somebody out from the cast of The Godfather... Perhaps we don't really need to know what's stashed behind the counter.
This guy looks like he could sell you a magazine or rub someone out for you. What a great little bit of watercolouring and character design. Thanks Thom.

People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

I love this picture for what it is... So real!
The man looks a bit like a Schiele's... Am I wrong?
Thank a lot Thom!
A real pleasure!
