This scruffy Tom won't put up with it and he's certainly looking out for some trouble. With this piece, I wanted to show a back-alley know how, street smarts in the third degree. This represents the fighting spirit we all need sometimes to push through and move ahead. The background is replete with a bit of grit and a bit of guff. It includes a WWII tank, a knife, some knots of twine and genuine whitewashed bone for good measure.
