Description
Black Ice day in a street of my town! When I read "slippery", I immediately thought about those days I (and many other people) walk the streets with a hand extended to grab anything solid, tiny step by tiny step, because I almost slip and and fall 50 times during a 10-minute walk (and I'm almost not exaggerating ). So I've drawn different people on that street, bravely going against the cold and the icy streets to buy food and, maybe, new cleats/spikes to put under their shoes... the woman and the young man are very loosely inspired by me and Hubby, the old man by his late father, with some deliberate differences... though the people who know me irl might recognize my hat, Hubby's and my habit of going food shopping with a backpack on foot, his father's cane with spikes at the end, installed on snowy and icy days and a few details like that...

I wish you all as little slippery days in your next winter as possible

Made with:
- Faber Castell Pitt markers (Black: XS, S)
- L. Cornelissen & Son Iron Oak Gall and Walnut Inks
- on Papier & Kunst sketchbook, A5, 130mg paper
