| Description: | Mike Gvara, popularly known as "The Original Island Dog", resides in San Pedro Town. Ambergris Caye, a small island off the coast of Belize, Central America. Originally from Windsor, Connecticut, he joined the U.S. Army serving in Korea and Vietnam. After military service he moved to California and operated a limousine service in Orange County. In 1990, needing a long overdue vacation he arrived in Caye Caulker, Belize. One thing led to another, he forgot California and stayed in paradise. After three and a half years living on Caye Caulker running a bar and making a considerable dent in the island rum supply Mike started doing pencil and ink drawings to sell to the tourists. "The Dog.", a self taught artist has often said. "I'll never get rich doing drawings and cartoons, but it keeps me in rum and cigarettes and pays the rent. I get to have my office on the beach in the shade of a coconut tree." 1. These limited edition lithographs are printed with a metal plate on a printing press, they are not computer copies.
