This ink drawing shows a small, simple house with a crooked chimney and a single tree beside it. The lines are sharp and careful, like the artist used a razor to make them. It’s part of a book of drawings, not meant to hang on a wall. Most pages show quick sketches, but this one feels complete—almost like a quiet moment frozen in time. The artist, who also went by Bear 167, made many of these as he traveled. Look up the artist who signed this work: Kwame Monroe (aka Bear 167), Nike TDS.
