I'm currently loving

These portraits of Jewish gangsters by Pat Hamou. I'm not exactly sure why...they're interesting and extremely well done...

Albert 'Tick Tock' Tannenbaum

Arnold Rothstein

Meyer Lansky

I like them too. They remind me of old posters in a way.
"Menace" is the first word that comes to mind.

Those are great. I love the muted tones to convey a "seedy" part of society type of feel.
