If you ever get a chance to sit down with Patric, or even better, get a tour of his apartment chock full of artwork, do so. Fascinating and heartbreaking story of Patric's father and an eventual acquisition of one of his paintings.

It's still unbelievable that Tony is no longer with us, but the best way to celebrate his life is to get out and see his art, all over the Chicagoland area! Here's a list of a few spots in Chicago to check out this weekend.

Opening tomorrow night! Come see some impressive art and artifacts from the studio of a man who deeply influenced the visual vernacular of Chicago during the early 20th century.

The annual Historic Pullman House Tour is also happening this weekend, so you can make a full day of it on Saturday.

I had been planning to invite Tony out to lunch for some time now, but unfortunately, it's not going to happen. He was never too busy to chat when we met and always had great stories to tell. RIP Tony.

Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago artist in many realms, has died at 66

He had recently published a new book, “The Sun at the End of the Road,” filled with his distinctive art, poetry and prose. Some consider it a memoir.
