A cold man walking home with his newspaper.

© 2017 Joe Blend. All rights reserved. — Artwork made by redacting words in a newspaper article to create a haiku. A contour drawing was added using white ink, to convey the meaning behind the haiku (note: the word "the" was added by using semi-opaque tape to remove the word from a different newspaper article). The piece was scanned into Adobe Photoshop for small adjustments, to prepare for printing.
