This is a drawing using gel ink. I find its fluidity coupled with its permanence a great medium. You notice the facial expression is more numb than joyous and then there's that downhill slope. Original Jones Art from Austin, Texas.
Very unusual work; it has a medaeval feel to it, reminiscent of certain stained glass windows, [the old saints always looked sad, don't you think?perhaps because even then the pace of life {or, death} was too fast for them?], maybe we too would be somewhat happier if we were able to slow down a little. :)

How awesome and super creative Charles, wonderful portfolio and looking forward to more of your posting!
Artist Reply: Thanks, Lucia. I appreciate your interest. I'm just venturing out again after years of solitary cubicle confinement. No, I don't mean prison per se. So much art, so little time.
