Jack Ruby original ultra rare Illusion jail artwork from 1965

This is a very rare example of a less the. A dozen known drawings done by Jack Ruby while in Jail. This geometric designs type of sketch is done a folded sheet and was drawn and signed while he was in Dallas County Jail. It’s signed Best Always, Jack Ruby and dated Sept 1965. 

A very significative piece! Why ? Two days After shooting the president John F. Kennedy Lee Harvey Oswald was fatally shot by local club owner Jack Ruby on live television in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters.

Oswald always denied killing JFK stating stating that he was a “Patsy”.

In Sept 1964 , the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Oswald acted alone!

This conclusion was also supported by the Dallas Police Department , FBI, United States Secret Services and the Housr Select Committee on Assassinations.

Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald on the 24th of November 1963. He was convicted of the murder on March 14, 1964 and sentenced to death.

He produced and crafted this geometrical artwork 17 months after being convicted and would die less the 1 1/2 years later on January 1967.

A very similar piece can be seen at the sixth floor Museum at the Dealey Plaza. 

This rare type of Geometrical abstract art was made In parallel to the John F Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald assassinations to create an illusion. It was also found that he had low and high level mafia connections later on. following his court appearance during his appeal Process, Ruby told reporters that “The world will never know the true facts of what occurred and his real motives”. He further suggested “The people in higher positions had so much to gain”.

These statements , among others made in his final year, continue to perplex researchers who believe there is alot more to the story. 

To this day the real story has many plots and conspiracy theories but the truth is still out there……many believed Jack Ruby to be part of a bigger picture and was only a soldier who sacrificed himself knowing he was dying of cancer.

This Illusion artwork drawn in ballpoint was given to his Body guard Ray Pennington to give to the Miller family.  In fine condition folded to the size of a 4 x 7.

Ruby worked on this drawing nervous , restless and addravated. He was stressed about his family’s safety.
