Gumbo always makes me think of the time I left my passport in a cab in New Orleans and cabbie found it and remembered where he dropped me off. Legend. Happy Gumbo Day to him!

a mixed media collage i made featuring a black man, in a fur-collared coat and hat, with a cigar in his mouth and holding a steering wheel, superimposed over a background of old photos of young children from the early 1900s, graffiti, and torn paper textures.
