Artwork Description

Pure Imagination is a drawing of a child drawing. The boy and the drawing implements are in graphite‚ while the child's drawings are in colour (as they are representative of the imagination).
Pure Imagination is drawn in mirror image‚ as though you are peering from beneath an invisible desk.
It is one ins a series of poster style portraits coined 'Popsters' that I developed in a retro graphic art fashion, with portrait headlines and slogans.

This drawing is not framed.
