All that I know

Smoking
The Cigar Shop, which in my past radiated an air of luxury. Cigars were a regular yet extravagant gift that were shared by fathers and sons.

BOOK
Much of Town’s imagery is rooted in his early years spent in Cyprus. Even before he had mastered the basics of an English education, he was familiar with myth and mythology; the beach where Aphrodite came ashore, the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos, the influence of the Phoenicians, Crusaders and Ottomans, and the symbols and characters of the ancient world. Over the years, this mingled in his mind to produce a lively and varied iconography for his work.
Night life
