Badly Drawn Boy...

One of the first signs of aging, in my experience, is a sense of social responsibility; as I was inking this last night in a crowded Bakers Square, surrounded by rampaging children, I found myself covering up much of the figure below with a napkin; I guess out of fear that I might scar one of them--or, more likely, that one of their parents might scar me for drawing "pornography" around their little angels. In any case, I felt old and ugly and rather worthless, and I think it all came out in the work. Happy Holidays!
