Around 1982 Howard Finster, self-taught Outsider artist and minister, created a series of drawings that would later be titled "Self Portrait," "Howard Talks to Animals", "Tribute to Silverhill Baptist Church," and "My Castle". In 1998, these were reproduced as etchings in a portfolio titled Folk Image / by Howard Finster, Man of Vision published by Finster and Cincinnati artist, collector, and Outsider Art promoter Andrew Van Sickle. They were printed by Michelle Red Elk and Werner Kennebeck at Mark Patsfall Graphics in Cincinnati, Ohio in a series of 50 impressions, with 10 artist's proofs, 2 printer's proofs, 2 shop proofs, and 1 BAT. Finster signed the prints in the lower right.
