THOMAS FLUHARTY illustration on marker board of Huey Lewis signed and dated 1985 11" X 13" we contacted the artist to confirm the authenticity and he kindly did so. This was a snippet from his email. Hey! Makes me chuckle. That drawing was done when I was a young artist in NYC at Gem Studio.

This work is guaranteed to be an original pencil drawing, and not a print nor reproduction of any kind. The drawing (15" by 23", 20" by 26 3/4" in simple metal framing) is amazingly detailed, featuring an old time steam boat, the General Slocum, as it might have appeared in New York harbor around the turn of the century. The Brooklyn Bridge towers at right and sailing craft complete the scene at lower right. The artist signed the work at lower left and dated it 1995...
