The search for the two fugitives who escaped the New York-prison on June 6 is drawing closer to its third week. In light of this, the Richard Solomon artist representative group posted an image on their Facebook-page, made by their senior member (and Altpick-member) Douglas Smith. This highly expressive piece, with its accompanying Paul Levine-quote “We all hold the keys to our own jail cells”, was made on scratchboard and is certainly fitting to current events.
Having used scratchboards for many years as a medium to produce his illustrations, Douglas Smith has broken this time-consuming, yet highly rewarding process into a science.
