I don't usually do portraits in ink, but I did this one in a long-defunct Borders Bookstore twenty years ago. Kit (last name edited) was a good friend of mine for a while, and then we just sorta drifted apart, even though she and I were in the same religious group. I had the time to do a good portrait then, and she sat still. You can see the coffee urns from the bookstore cafe behind at left. Just a few weeks ago I saw Kit at Chessiecon, where we went to re-visit old friends, and we had a memory-filled conversation. Twenty years later Kit and her world are basically the same, and mine isn't so different either.
