Artist's Comments

First in a series of quick portraits I did virtually overnight, allegories for the driving force behind humankind’s most daring achievements and its unyielding perseverance. I noticed that whenever these aspects of human nature are portrayed, they are almost always portrayed as women. I decided to do it somewhat differently, and portray them as men.

All three portraits are 9x12". All were done in black & white graphite and black ink on tinted paper. In this one I also used a blue colored pencil for the highlight.
