A weathered elderly man with a full beard and deep-lined face stares directly outward, a cigarette dangling from his lips beneath a tilted cap. The stark black and white composition uses bold contrast and expressive line work to capture the texture of age and a lifetime of character etched into his features. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
