I’m really having a lot of fun using patterns and designs to hint at the interior lives of some of my figures. This picture, for example, depicts a guy I saw sitting in my doctor’s waiting room. He had a solemn look on his face and he was dressed in a plain white dress shirt and solid brown tie.  The patterns in this drawing reflect the fact that even the most simply or conservatively dressed men and women and rich and complex interior lives…which is a fancy way of saying that you can never “just a book by it’s cover.”
