Mister Tony (b. 1920)

I met Mister Tony in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Larimer in 2016 while working on the project Larimer Stories. We instantly became friends and bonded over Pittsburgh History and trimming our hedges. Since then, I’ve been making drawings about our time together. You can read a short comic about us below!
