move pen move

I have so much art going on right now, I swore I'd start updating this thing again this week because there's so much happening and so much I want to show!

This piece was done for an editorial assignment last semester. We had to choose an article and represent as best we could. I chose this article in The Stranger that went into the whole idea of suicide pretty comprehensively . I tried to leave the impression of someone reflecting on life and death, and contemplating death without using other suicidal connotations. Drawn with pencil, coloured in Photoshop.

Also, this might be the saddest song ever, in a lovely way.
