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

You caught me; it was all a lie………..solved by your wisdom and intelligence!
It means I took a picture of the drawing, because it to large to fit into a scanner.

Jonna, dude maybe we are having a language barrier here if so I apologize for my flippant answer. The drawing is on Illustration board which is an acid free drawings surface, the only thing I did on the computer is even the tones after I took a photo of this. Hope this helps
