Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man

It's difficult to believe that Joyce's first novel by the same name is over a hundred years old. That makes it a true antique. I don't think that phrase meant much to me until recently. When I started this piece I was feeling a bit nostalgic and wondered where that young man went and what's to become of the older gentleman standing in for him. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen drawing with color pencil and color gel. It's a loose reinterpretation by Original Jones Art as he looks wistfully back in northwest Austin, Texas.
