Thirty years ago, I worked at Newbury Comics, for a 20-year-old, it was the coolest job I could have had. I met some of the greatest people, many of whom I am still friends with. So many creative types, artists, and musicians. We were all destined to do greater things. One of them was Corey. Over the years, I have taken his photo with his band, The Cast Irons. And Corey has taken my photo with his 1800s setup. Today it was my turn again – visiting and taking some photos of his newly opened shop New England Sketch Book, in Newburyport, MA. The shop sells unique art from local artisans. It is a must-visit location right off downtown near the waterfront. The space itself is historically fascinating, filled with stories and an incredible representation of both Corey and the area. If you are nearby visit, check out the website here.
