DARREL 'CUPS' O’RILEY
I first met Darrel, selling his art at a stand at Florida Megacon in Orlando a few years ago. I bought a couple of pieces of original art then every year when I went back he always had a couple more saved for me and even did a commission for me.
The man is like his art, colourful, effervescent and infectiously irrepressible. Think of Leon Black in CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
His stand up sales patter, his big personality and of course his vibrant, if slightly risqué paintings were irresistible to me. I’ll leave to your imagination how he got the nickname “CUPS”
If you’re still out there man, get in touch.
