Hotel Europe

This Vancouver Gastown scene was also published as an art card in 1991, however my publisher took it out of print in 1995. I guess the tourists didn’t like this one as much as the Steam Clock image. Too bad, this was my favorite out of the two. In my first year at Emily Carr College of Art in 1980, the school was located at 21 Water Street, just a head turn to the left from this scene. Myself and other students used to eat lunch in the pub that used to occupy the ground floor of the Hotel Europe. Cheap beer, even back then—60¢ a glass.
