The ex-crim, who now also falls under the categories of artist and author, currently has an exhibition there called Hardcore Art at the Bordello. The location of the exhibition makes for a good story too. Back in his days as a stand-over man, he robbed the premises in 1973 when it was an illegal massage parlour. Now he’s exhibiting his artwork there, and donating part of the proceeds from sold works to The Alannah and Madeline Foundation. Now who said he wasn’t a big softy beneath his gritty tattoos and missing teeth?
