Is anyone familiar with Jack Simmerling? The Chicago artist.?

Question

I believe he's famous for pencil (pen) sketches of Chicago landmarks, houses, etc. I have an original sketching approx 10 X 15 (B&W) of the the old White Sox park, signed by the artist dated '90.

Can someone steer me the right way for getting additional information, especially about this particular drawing?

Thanks so much!

He had his own web site, which didn't have much useful information.  But you might try phoning the number and asking a few question. See:
