Illustration Friday (Saturday for me - I'm in the southern hemisphere): REMEMBER

Other ideas I had: somebody sitting by a gravestone or a cross, like a small boy or a dog; somebody looking into a glass of wine, smiling; somebody digging out an old mandolin from a dusty box. Come to think of it, I like those ideas better than the one I ended up with, especially the mandolin one.

This is a picture of my mate Lex. I don't know whether to call it "Lex" or "The Groundsman". The latter sounds a bit more like a portrait name, like "The Sicilian" by that fellow, can't remember, it's in the Queensland Art Gallery I think. This one's graphite pencil on paper. I'm entering it into the art section of the local show. The prize money for first place is three dollars, though you'll probably get run out of town if you try to claim it.
