Number 13

Number 13 speaks volumes as I know the subject of the picture. He has tattoos covering nearly all of his visible skin and supposedly much of what isn't. The "13" is his lucky number. I remember him always being drunk but, then again, I saw him while I was working in the bar he lived above. He is a bartender by day at the airport and hangs out at the pub at night. Every bartender gets to know their regulars and we could count on him being there almost every night. The "CRAP" t-shirt evokes his personality quite well as he gulps the Jaeger shot. It makes me homesick. :)

JC Thorpe is the artist who did the CPAN logo and works for Osborn and Barr Communications. If you have seen an ad for Monsanto or Cargill, then you've seen some of his work.
