Description

AI description:
A unique drawing features a man in a black suit standing confidently. A large blue panther, which contrasts sharply against a background adorned with a bold red and white striped skyline. Above the figure, the words "MINK DEVILLE" are prominently displayed, adding an element of identity or branding to the scene.



With that West Side Story vibe, soulful Willy DeVille fronts Mink DeVille.


This graphite pencil, colored pencil, pastel and ink on paper artwork was completed Oct 7, 1985.


"I was on the Bowery in New York and stood out in front of CBGB's one night. There were all these cats in small lapels and pointed shoes smokin' Pall Malls and bullshitting with the winos. It was good . . . I've had it up to here with Crosby Steals The Cash . . . I like Mink DeVille."
- - Tom Waits


"Mink DeVille knows the truth of a city street and the courage in a ghetto love song. And the harsh reality in his voice and phrasing is yesterday, today, and tomorrow - timeless in the same way that loneliness, no money, and troubles find each other and never quit for a minute. But the fighters always have a shot at turning a corner, and if you holler loud enough, sometimes somebody hears you.

And truth and love always separate the greats from the neverwases and the neverwillbes."
- - Doc Pomus
