Japanese Gentleman Bids Farewell



As you can see from any inspection of my artistic output, I would much rather draw buildings than people, since architecture is my specialty. When I have to draw people or animals, I always put buildings first as the background. This is the closing illustration for the story I mentioned last posting about the Japanese detective on Darkover. The Free Amazon, his temporary partner in sleuthing, watches the gentleman walk away, never to appear in her life again. The architecture here is an Italian village, re-built on an alien world.

Black ink on illustration board, 8" x 6", spring 1984. I sure have used a lot of illustration board in my years as an artist.
