He owns about 100 of his paintings and was the one that bought him all of him wine(Mad Dog 20/20). He's still alive and living in Stock Island, although his monkey is no longer with us. Yes, he indeed did a lot of self portraits but that is not what he is mostly known for.

If he was drunk and hungry, you could buy his art work for $5 or $10. He did a lot of self portraits, but the 2 I have are not self portraits. I also have a painting by his ex wife Laney Levine. I wonder if Tom is still alive somewhere out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
