"Comfort food" - Mark A. Fleming

Currently incarcerated in West Virginia 51 hours to complete the piece "I created “comfort food” using a combination of graphite and carbon in layers to help increase my range of values, which in turn helped to increase the contrast. I used this method to try and create a more realistic drawing to help the viewer feel a more wholesome and peaceful air. There is nothing like the love and support of a parent to help ground you. Even in a potentially hostile environment that support can help you make it through the tough times." "Now, faced with an inordinate amount of free time, I took my penchant for learning and dove into instructional art books like my life depended on it. Which, I guess in a sense, it did."
