THE EVIL J.D. CRANE

I’ve been working on a series of paintings and a graphic novel about the Tonawanda Coke Corporation.  The process has exposed me to some true villains and also some everyday people who turned into super heroes! 

What could be more evil than someone ready to knowingly spew deadly poison into the air to further their own profit?  Inflicting violence on the environment and harming all the people and creatures living around it, is my definition of evil.  

My husband, Hal Leader, posed as Mr. Crane and had fun making nasty faces.  Since Hal’s also an older white male, I only needed to add a little more hair and a mustache to make him look like the infamous, now deceased, villain.
