Whitman's Dream
This is a pen and ink sketch of Treeman relaxing in a hammock, reading Leaves of Grass while being held by men made of wood. Treeman will soon be a series. Oddly when I work with this particular pen, I have an alter-ego that is whimsical instead of gothic. In another world, trees will rule the earth. Inspired by Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.
