Justin Wisniewski Week: "After Twenty-Seven Months..."

This week I'm going to present my own work. I'll give some background information as well.

"After twenty-seven months in the forest--alone, frostbitten, bleeding, starving, muddy, wet and tired, staff sergeant Stephen Paul Chapman realized the war would finally be over."

I asked a colleague of mine to pose for this drawing. I chose him mainly because I could see a great deal of myself in him and, despite all other interests my work is centered around myself. I had no interest in drawing him per se.
