This is the biggest picture I’ve drawn in the past three years. It was for a banned book week in 2010. I like working big but it’s so much more expensive (except when it’s sidewalk chalk).

“I knew from the beginning that, however complicated he might turn out  to be as a human being, I wanted to honor the memory of this gay man who  was silenced in so many different ways — by his chronic stutter, by his  outré sexuality, by the labor camp, and finally by his brother, who  failed to mention Sergey’s existence until the third version of Speak, Memory.  I think Nabokov, to his credit, eventually regretted that — but it took  him a long time to come to terms with his own collusion in that  silencing.”
