Pat Moriarty's show at Tigertail


This photo is of Port Orchard, Washington artist Pat Moriarty and his son playing at the opening party for art show at Tigertail. Pat and his son did a dozen covers, including Johnny Cash, Stiff Little Fingers, and the Young Fresh Fellows, it was pretty awesome.

Throughout the 1990's Moriarty was an underground comic book and poster artist, as well as the art director for Fantagraphic Books. Today his work focuses on drawings and cartoon-work. His exhibit up at Tigertail should last through the month of May. Tigertail is a bar and restaurant located off Phinney Ridge in Ballard at 704 NW 65th Street.
