The drawings below, colored pencil on paper circa 2011 & 2015, are by Elijah Burgher, whom I first heard of as Ghost Vomit,
which is the name of the blog he kept up for a number of years and
which still exists, though he hasn’t added to it of late. I was first
told of his work by my friend, Gregg Woolard, a remarkable artist in his
own right, sculptor, cabinet maker and carpenter (he designed and built
the original bar at Max Fish and the one in the basement at the new
place at Orchard & Delancey, along with the new storefront.)
Burgher is very closely associated with Richard Hawkins and AA Bronson,
with whom he has collaborated, among others. The biographies of him on
the net speak of him as being Chicago based, but last I heard he was
living in Germany, in Berlin.
