The END!
Afterword: I drew this from life, while sitting by the edge of a river. I saw a stump that looked like a man's face. I envisioned a book-length story, chronicling the adventures and thoughts of Mr. Stump, but the drawing became so time-consuming, that I ran out of gas and stopped. How much can a stump do, anyway? By the way, he had moss on his "head" which looked like hair, and he appeared to be a very deep old soul who had seen it all--if only from one vantage point.
I can't wait for the prequel, where Mr. Stump (toesea le paʻu in his native rapanui language) begins life buried mid-torso on Easter Island.
ReplyDeleteHow he extricates himself and finds his way to an American riverside can only be imagined!
