Balsa Bighouse ! Cardboard Clink! Handmade Prison Model Folk Art Greybar Hotel
Handmade Folk Art Prison Model. A patient and talented prisoner who lives up the river likely made this model of his home, but I have always had a problem with "prison art" when it involves a knife. Isn't that the first thing they TAKE from prisoners? Still, prison art is a legitimate collecting category, and I don't mean those ghouls who like to collect horrible clown paintings from Gacy or the handmade spiders Charlie Manson has been selling of late. Plenty of confined artists do good work...even if only marking the wall daily.
