Indianess

This portrait was a quick watercolor and ink, brush and pen, done in June 1981 in Antwerp. Note the Thunderbird in the medallion down left and the chocker and suggestion of a breastplate. Tony wore a chocker once in while, yet I could not locate any pictures. But then sometimes he would put on warpaint on his face and chest with ... shaving foam. With his mixed heritage he often felt like being on the fence. In these moods he would choose 'being an artist' as the overriding identity.
