Battenfeld Grease & Oil Corporation has been operating at 1174 Erie Ave since 1939. Some buildings on the sprawling site appear to date to at least the Talismanic Company, “maker of chemical specialties,” in 1908.

Deep stash alert! In 2018, I screen printed a small collection of “NT-shirts.” These are the last nine shirts! 6 Planet NT, 2 Melody Fair, and 1 Auto Wheel Coaster. I will not be printing anymore. Come say hi Sunday at Niawanda Park for the Art on the Riverwalk Festival 2026. I’ll have original watercolor paintings and prints as well, and there are a lot of other artists!

Three views of the Memorial Pool in North Tonawanda, and one sketch of the Union Station. Frames are 8x10. I’ll also have prints of these. Come say hello and see all the other artists!

Next weekend, I’ll be offering two new signed and numbered limited edition works: “A Farewell to Memorial Pool” is an 8x10 print (framed to 11x14”) of an original watercolor painting celebrating summers spent in the water and sun; “Planet NT” is a 12x12” hand-pulled screenprint on archival paper of a whimsical original illustration showing off some North Tonawanda landmarks. I’ll also have a few copies of my NT Neighborhoods map, many original watercolors and sketches, and a few new surprises. Come talk local history with me!

Ducky’s Waterfront Grill’s soft launch a few weeks ago on Tonawanda Island, beside a bustling marina. The shack has been used by a variety of restaurants going back to at least the 1990s, I've been told. Fountain pen, 6x8".

The delightful chaos of the Oliver Auto Repair office, sketched from a photo I snuck in 2015. These two gentlemen saved me a lot of money over the years.
