Key himself once lived in a house not far from the future location of this bridge, on what is now M Street along the banks of the C&O Canal. "Georgetown - Key Bridge" is faithfully reproduced from Paul's original color pencil drawing as an archival quality print released in a limited edition of ONLY 500 hand-signed pieces.

The famous "Haunted House" at Ocean City has been a Boardwalk fixture since 1964, and is still going strong as it approaches its 50th season. This classic Bill Tracy-designed attraction is well known amongst amusement park afficionados as one of the best "dark rides" in the United States. And, here's a fact of interest for Ocean City trivia buffs: part of it is built from the remnants of Daniel Trimper's old "Windsor Hotel," one of Ocean City's first! "The Haunted House - Ocean City, Maryland" is faithfully reproduced from Paul's original color pencil drawing...an archival quality print released in a limited edition of ONLY 500 hand-signed pieces.

The acclaimed movie star of "Robin Hood" and "Captain Blood" fame was also an avid yachtsman. Despite the many ladies the dashing young actor pursued during his days as one of Hollywood's leading men, there was but one real true love for Errol Flynn...the beautiful and sleek schooner "Zaca." She was built in 1929, and the 118" vessel spent many years as a pleasure yacht before being acquired in 1942 by the U.S. Government to be used as a West Coast radio ship during World War II. She is credited with communicating positions of passing Japanese ships while patrolling the California coastline. She was purchased by Flynn in 1945 who frequently sailed her out of her home port in Jamaica, where she is depicted in this print. He owned "Zaca" until his untimely death in 1959. After years of legal battles pertaining to his estate, she unfortunately fell into disrepair in the 1960s. Happily, she has recently been restored and the storied "Zaca" now sails again as a charter yacht in the waters of Monaco. "Errol Flynn's Schooner "Zaca" is faithfully reproduced from Paul's original color pencil drawing. It is an archival quality print released in a limited edition of ONLY 500 hand-signed pieces.
