A story about "foreclosure mills" in Florida......mendacious lawyers profiting from homeowners' losses. Alas, the character was a bit much for the editors...working on a version showing the back of shyster's head instead. Oh well.....you get to see it.

So....here's the editor-approved version. It still works and takes the emphasis off the bad guy. I was riffing off my former student and terrific painter Owen Smith with the top one. I don't believe I taught him anything but he's inspired me. This was for Mother Jones and the swell Carolyn Perot, A.D.
