Contemplative figure drawing artist/illustrator in Kent, Ohio. I have a fascination with contour line drawing and human beings. Absolutely zero digital/AI.

"The Other Shoe" 28x22 ink and acrylic on paper.
Living in anxiety, waiting for the other shoe to drop...

What if the shoe were on the other foot?
What if you were to walk in someone else's shoes?
