John Marx"Reluctant Cat" Satirical Drawing by John Marx
About the Item
A man bends down to pet a cat sitting on the sidewalk. He seems intent on coaxing affection from the animal, but the cat remains wary. Its ears are pulled back, sideways glance — it clearly isn’t taken with the man’s enthusiasm.
The man embodies a clumsy attempt at connection with an autonomous, perhaps suspicious creature. The drawing captures that suspended moment where nothing quite happens, except the display of a one-sided desire. In Marx’s work, even the simplest gestures are caught within social structures, invisible tensions.

Woman Drawing by Christopher Mark Brennan
By Christopher Mark Brennan

Another clean line drawing by Brennan, done with sharpie, or marker.
The lines created are bold and precise.
A remarkable piece by Brennan. Clean and thick lines made with ink, featuring a clown-like figure very different from the usual clowns existing for the kid's fun. The background contrasts the clown's attire.
