TONY SAVAGERIO: UNLOCKING THE FOREIGN PSYCHE

 

Ink on acid-free card. 2008

This is about a UK artist friend of mine who, in the 1970’s rallied all over England for an anti drugs campaign.

The campaign was highly successful , reducing the drug trafficking up to 70 percent. Not without

terrible gang vindication. Tony was shot twice, and in this drawing shows him being shot.

Many years on, artist Tony Savages still lives to tell his gruesome and heroic tale.
