(meanderings about james, below.)

digital ink & paint drawing of literary genius & giant of a human being, james baldwin.
he sits with his cheek against his left hand (lung dart nestled betwixt his fingers), looking forlornly into the left distance. his right arm rests on his knees.
behind his head is a triangle & his name is in uppercase down the side.
above his head is something he wrote in an essay in 'harper's magazine' about his 1961 visit to israel. it says, 'i stood on a hill in jerusalem today, looking over the border, the arab-israeli border. there is really something frightening about it. there is something insane about it, something which breaks the heart.'
