Description

"You see my art, you kind of know what's on my mind. The Coal Miner represents somebody I knew that worked at the coal mine down at Johns. It represents the working man. The working man got to protect his head. Some folks think it look like me, but it ain't me. Except that all working men look the same to some people."
