A quick Sharpie sketch of a man i admire, Elie Wiesel.
Elie Wiesel lost is entire family during the holocaust and witnessed the beating death of his father.
His mouth smiles but his eyes to me, are suffering eyes.
His favourite 2 words in the english vocabulary are: AND YET...
Maybe because he finds hope in these words, or the possibility of change.
I haven't had much time for art these past few days, but i'll be back.
Wishing you all a wonderful week.
