Purple shapes, repetitive and asymmetrical, funnel in to a point behind each ear of the figure printed on a manila bookmark. The body, especially torso area, is filled with swirling grey-blue liquic, with another swirl branching off and rising up the throat. A geometric purple shape, faceted, is in the lower gut of the figure. The right hand is colored purple, and the lower legs have ink smudges in the same grey-blue color as the abdomen.

Support my Health & Art!

Healthcare in the USA is expensive. If you are able, please support me on ko-fi, or share my ko-fi & art with others. I also use the ko-fi funds to get this art into the world--application fees, materials/framing costs, shipping to & from exhibits, and of course an occasional yummy matcha. Thank you!
