I recently rediscovered a preliminary sketch of David Suzuki I had done from a few years ago when I was still working at the CBC.  The line drawing was for the development of one of the ideas I had for new Suzuki T-shirts.  This particular idea was never developed further.

It just happens to be David Suzuki’s 75th birthday on March 24, 2011.  So, I thought I would post this in his honour.

I may go back in to add washes of colour at some point, but for now I like the look of just the lines.

I used to pass by this old man on the way to work in the mornings just a few blocks west of home.  His tweed jacket, shirt and pants were always a bit too loose on his frame.  The most memorable thing about him, though,  were his crazy old man eyebrows.  They were white, fluffy and pretty much obscured his eyes.  It’s been years since I’ve seen him.  I sometimes wonder who he was and what’s become of him.
