Ed Paschke 1939 - 2004

Ed Paschke died on Thanksgiving eve, in his sleep. Ed has been a friend of mine my entire teen & adult life. In fact, it was Ed's letter of recommendation that got me into the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. There is so much folks already know about Ed. Ed was a famous, influential and important American artist. But I have memories of Ed that are mine, and mine alone. Ed spent a lot of time at the Green Mill Lounge on Broadway, next to the Uptown Theatre. He ran the art dept. at Northwestern University and after work he'd head north up Sheridan Ave. to Broadway and stop in The Green Mill for a tall cool one. I trained at the old Northside Boxing Gym right above the lounge. Ed would come upstairs and we'd talk boxing. He loved boxing. He knew boxing. I loved painting. We'd talk painting. He knew painting. We'd talk art and painting. And freaks. We both loved sideshow freaks. One Christmas, while I was still in Medicine, I sent him a pair of Siamese Twins fetuses I had planned to dissect. Ed collected duck decoys. His father crafted them. One of the biggest honors Ed bestowed upon me was finding a place for the twins (in a glass jar of formalin) on the same mantle with his old man's duck decoys.
