The Third Fold (The Angel of Death Smokes Camels)

The Third Fold (The Angel of Death Smokes Camels)

This drawing was made in memory of my Grandpa Conley Ferguson, a.k.a. "Fergy," a.k.a "Frog." A WWII veteran, repairman, avid fisherman, devious card player, and father of five, he died of emphysema and pancreatic failure a number of years ago. The main image is of an exploded diagram view of the parts of an old meat grinder that I found in his basement shortly after he passed. "The third fold," part of the flag folding ceremony, is done in honor of veterans who have left our ranks.
