A peek at the mini-originals Matthew Ryan Sharp will have on hand for the Purveyors show!

I plan on having a small handful of these miniature drawings available at the opening of “Purveyors of Firewater & Opiates” Priced modest and ready to be snatched up. Most will be my Ghosteeez & Gypsy Skull characters. All have gold teeth and are stamped, signed and dated on the back of the piece.
*Note: These are originals NOT prints. Roughly 3 x 4 inches in size.
