Just to allay any assumptions that I’ve maybe come to appreciate bourbon, dogs and art only later in life, I present several images from my first solo exhibition, held at the Refrigerator Door Gallery in Hayti, South Dakota circa 1958.
I’m pretty sure that’s a dog I’m with in this drawing since if it were actually a giant ant I probably wouldn’t be using a leash.
In case you can’t read my handwriting on the label, it says “Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Please drink responsibly.”
