Peter Leue Designer/Craftsman

2013. Spanish cedar and other mixed media. 60" high.  "Nick" is a humidor which holds a gross of cigars in a controlled humidity environment.  "Nick" rolls around on a repurposed medical stand, equipped with men's brogues, and has one hand on his lapel, holding an Art Deco refrigerator latch which opens the humidor. His other hand is in his pocket, along with a $5 bill and an absentee ballot.  "Nick" personifies the late mid-century ward heeler with his signature black fedora, long black coat and cigar.  All that's missing is the Cadillac!
