About:  A grinning cartoon sailor anchors Tony Pharo’s Backpack. One anchor appears on the sailor’s cap and another on the forearm, while loose black lines and broad white brushstrokes cross the figure. The title draws attention to what the sailor carries. An anchor holds you in place, while a backpack goes wherever you go. That tension gives the familiar cartoon grin a different charge, inviting you to think about what you carry forward and what still holds you in place.
