"While working on a few images this year I ran across a picture of one of its most famous residents, Ernest Hemingway.  In the vintage black and white photo I used for reference was Ernest surrounded by a few men in a bar where it appeared they were all laughing and just simply enjoying life. I imagined that great tales were being told by each man in the bar but they were all just waiting for Ernest's turn to come along."   - Fabio Napoleoni

Story Tellers Happy Hours features Marcenivo seated between Mr. Bunny Boozehound and the monkey at a bar with colorful striped background. Marcenivo pours a drink while cocktails sit on the table and the characters laugh together wearing red neck scarves.

The imagery symbolizes friendship, storytelling, and shared joy. The relaxed bar setting reflects camaraderie, conversation, and celebration, capturing a lighthearted moment where connection, humor, and memorable stories bring the characters together.
