JET-LAGGED IN BRIGHTON, ENGLAND

Jet-lagged in Brighton, U.K., 14 x 10 inch ink drawing by George C. Clark    AVAILABLE

This is me about three weeks ago, on the first night of a visit to the United Kingdom.   I can never sleep much on airplanes which made for a very long day.  I crashed after supper in my hotel in Brighton on Britain's south coast,  but then found myself wide awake in the middle of the night.  I pulled a chair into the bathroom, set it in front of the sink, and drew this self-portrait.  The chrome faucet in the foreground is real and everything else in the drawing is the reflection I saw in the mirror.
