Pen and Ink Series #7: Bruise, LA, 2025

Posted on by

Why would a black and white line drawing named ‘Bruise’? When one thinks of a bruise, one could imagine a riot of colors from all over the spectrum (mainly black and blue – some red and orange perhaps). The patterns of a massive bruise I have on my leg from a fall last week gave […]
