Yesterdays post ended that 'the artist' was Tony's default personality. Here you see The Unicorn in the La Brea Gallery in Las Vegas with Tony and the owner of the gallery Ed. That show lead to long articles with plenty of color photographs in two Las Vegas newspapers: The Nevadan, September 28 1986 with as a title: Tony Mafia, A brilliant vagabond sets up in North Las Vegas and at the front Page: Artist Tony Mafia is fervent apostle of the abstract. The second is the Las Vegas Review Journal, September 30. August 28 also in 1986, the Las Vegas Sun ran a major article. It gives a decent biography and talks also about Tony's plans... In that period he became a kind of celebrity and got into trouble with the Minotaur Gallery about Salvador Dali's signature and about a Roy Nieman seascape... Those stories maybe are better left untold.
