"I found this old, retired paintbrush in a drawer of a nearby junk shop, and knew immediately that I would do a drawing of it. Despite its frail state, it seemed to have a quiet strength. I placed it upon a leather-bound book from the 1800’s, a hint that the brush, too, had a story to tell of long use and care."

-John Whalley
