A Question of Worth by

The level of compassion that humans are capable of has never ceased to amase me. This picture has stayed with me for years, after first seeing it in a simple e-mail forward. RedBubble’s competition “Comapssion” was the perfect excuse to draw it.

materials: compressed charcoal, kneadable erasure, cannon paper.
time: approx. 8 hours total

    What evocative if somewhat sinister imagery…..Excellent.

  • Thank you. all my art has one aim in mind – to make people ask their own questions. I’m rather proud of this piece – even though technically it isn’t my best, its one that reminds me of why i do this.
