Had to make a correction on this post, cause I had misidentified the person I was drawing. While I’m at it, I should credit the photo I used to Tristan Brand. Hope that’s all good, now. I did this computer-coloured sketch from the cover of the weekly newspaper, HOUR. The show, The Duck Wife, is […]
