1/ Weekend started with rain and ended with hugging Doug Jones. I gave him a postcard of Billy and stumbled through something like "I love you and your work". He was so kind and gracious, recognized my work from the interweb and gave me a big hug!

2/ Doug Jones You are one of the greats and it was a pleasure to meet you (and paint you!) If anyone would like a Billy of their own, go check out the shop (etsy.com/shop/maxmartel…) and grab a #HocusPocus postcard set! #salem #billybutcherson #hocuspocus #hocuspocus2

3/ Doug Jones Including one of my wife @Amelia_Leonards's pieces, Gemini (always fun to see how people view their zodiac). Doug was a huge influence on us both and looking at her creatures you can easily picture him under any of them. (Hey @realgdt, wink wink nudge nudge😅
