Hi Kevin: Great drawing !!! From all that I have read, life must have been hard for the Irish in the 1800's in New York City. I hope that you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

I tried to use the mid 1800's woodcut illustration style that was popular in magazines at that time: http://www.geocities.com/brerkev/tenament.html?1040402036728 Happy holidays, Kevin O'Malley --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
