A short video like no other on Substack: legendary velvet painter Argo talks about his career, the city's Velvet Painters Union back in the day, Elvis, John Wayne, and Marilyn.
I had no idea that velvet paintings were an industry. It was always fun to be snobbish about them, but I never considered that numerous people made a living producing them — even in assembly line fashion.

A good one, Sam.
