Marvel Mystery Oil

These are scans

of some older work

4x5 B&W

from a series I called

Left Behind

(Waaaaaaaaaay before

Tim Lahideyhideyho got

his groove on with bestsellers)

It was an exercise/experiment

 

Please let me know what

you think, especially the quality

or lack thereof of the scans

 

 

Our first house had a garage

to end all garages. Well, okey

not as big as a barn, but....

 

Many of the lots in that neighborhood

had small~tiny second houses

built on them so the owners could

make additional revenue. The folks

that built this one had poor timing or

were too ambitious because as they

were building this brick monolith the

code changed - the structure was too

big for the lot to be acceptable as a

"dwelling unit". So it became a garage.

 

The second owner used it as a body shop

and had a hydraulic lift installed. That was

a strong reason for my interest in it. He

also left behind all manner of odd and ends

including the can of carbon rods and

Marvel Mystery Oil you see here.
