Ralph Spangler's "portraits-of imag
ination” are enough to make you cry.
Of course, he gets tears all the time
as a tattoo artist.
Spangler, owner of Ralph's Hungry

striped and stilted eggs, conveying a

Spangler's work exudes a different
sort of emotion: less of the jubilant and
more of the thoughtful.
Traditionally concentrating on por
traits, Spangler has fleshed out romantic
nudes, isolated figures and imaginative
moments of sensitivity.
