This drawing is about a mother and a photo she has with her everyday, a photo of her son who lost his battle with cancer. When asked what her son would do that would make her smile she told the story of how he would get ready to go out in the evening and referred to himself as Handsome Chuck. If you look at this drawing and say Handsome Chuck to yourself and smile, then he lives on thru all of us and I did my job. 18 x 24 graphite pencil titled Handsome Chuck

They become one in Death, and appear to the viewer as this Grim Reaper, scythe conjuring to it's sid
