Great Seattle Fire 1889

June 6th 1889: A guy was boiling glue over sawdust drenched in kerosene in a wood building in a city made of wood with log fire hydrants and a fire chief who was in San Francisco at a Fire Fighting Convention.

Fire, Fire, I Heard The Cry


"Fire, fire," I heard the cry, from every breeze that passes by;
All the world was one sad cry of pity.
Strong men in anguish prayed, calling loud to heaven for aid,
While the fire in ruin was layin' ol' Seattle was a beautiful city.

Professor Jack's Patriotic Gallery


Inspired by the book Tattoo by Albert Parry © 1930. I found the book at the Olympia Goodwill. Excerpt featuring Professor Jack:
"It is useless to make a trip to New York's South Street. There the tattooing pursuit is as dead as the two other ancient trades of that street: the making and selling of sails, and the carving of ships' figureheads. Professor Jack was the last permanent artist in this section; no one knows where he is now." (p. 54)

The Birth Of The KGB



Originally inspired by the book KGB and the artwork of the late Russian outsider artist Alexander Lobanov. (In particular, the wreath and guns imagery)
However, the one with the AK-47's is too large to fit in the scanner.
