here’s a photo of a little something i made for my one and only remaining maker (mom), in celebration of getting to see and spend some time with her last month on a rare and awfully brief visit to the homieland. i conceived of it as a sort of analog photoshop mash-up fantasy family portrait in which a few of the folks most integral to my mom’s life, but who all involuntarily departed from it far too prematurely, get to transcend the vast stretches of land, ocean and human history that separated them in reality, and surround and support her in this alternate universe version of 1943. though it’s very different from and has nothing to do with my tattooing practice, i’m putting it here on account of this type of pencil-painting is another kind of drawing i really love to do, and would like to do more of, so if you have some notion of something you’d like to see rendered on paper this way, please do get in touch and let me know about it! contact: [email protected] ________________________________________ #drawing #illustration #portrait #familyportrait #pencilpainting #graphite #analogphotoshop #pencilonpaper #alternateuniverse #pencildrawing #pencilillustration #womenwhodraw #portraiture #mashup #meetmymaker #mom #momtobe #alternativeversion #historicalfantasy #transcendreality #transcendtimeandspace #rendering #fiction #dontletperfectbetheenemyofgood #grayareas #hansi #whatif #immigration #majorplayers #vips (at Neukölln, Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpmEjGshpm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
