Description
Monolithic updatePencil on Illustration Board
Full drawing 30” x 40” this image 7” x 7”
This is the Second element in this drawing, the sky and bulb being the first.
This is a drawing of my step-fathers eye. An eye that’s seventy-eight years old, an eye akin to hammered gold. An eye that’s experienced prisoner of war camps and the death of many comrades. It’s been witness to beating cancer once and now in the dusk of his years to lung cancer. This symbol speaks of strength and vulnerability; it alludes to the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
(On December 5, 2005 my dear step-dad died in my arms, I will miss him so very much, Gods Speed to you Dad, and all my love always). Armin Mersmann
Thanks for looking

Very, very emotional drawing.
Reading the description really moved me and I think his eye mirrors everything that has happened to him.
Haven't been impressed like this for a long time, thanks a lot for sharing.

i am amazed. i wish i had the patience to draw with such care. there is not a single imperfection to be found. you capture the emotion of a face (in this case just an eye) flawlessly.

I read some of the comments and I realized some poeple are so stupid! If they don't understand a thing, they call fake or unexisting.
Well, in my opinion, you are a great (great great ...) artist. I wish I were at that univ. where you teached that days.
Congr for all your artwork!
