I finished this drawing for Johnny P. finally. He is my gang mate at work.
The way that I found out that I was to do this drawing was this: Before I left for Tanzania, he had stuffed, unbeknownst to me, an envelope of money with a strange document into my backpack. It was written with some kind of imagined officialdom, with flowery archaic phrases, and seals and signs of notoriety. The long and the short of it, he ordered me to be paid to make this drawing.
This is the picture I worked from. Each time I approached him about details, he just shooed me off saying, "Just do your art thing."
I enjoyed getting lost in the waves, and attempting to catch the whisper of the rainbows.
....and here is a picture of Johnny, who is the most wonderful man I have ever met. I will always have a place in my heart for him. His kindness and good humor has been a fucking blessing to me these days..
