Jack Kerouac with Cat, Lowell Massachusetts, Vintage Print by Vassilios Giavis handmade gift or a pretty bowl forI found this lithographic print of Jack Kerouac holding a cat at an estate sale in Lowell, MA, where Kerouac was born and raised. The piece is by Vassilios Giavis (b. 1929) a Lowell based painter and illustrator, who, in addition to a wide variety of cityscapes, landscapes, etc., produced a series of paintings revolving around the life of Kerouac. Though neither dated nor numbered, I think this print, on heavy weight paper, was produced in the 1980s
