Drawing for Dwelling
Today, I'm showing you an ink illustration called 'Chicken' that I created for Chapter Forty-Seven of 's amazing novel Dwelling, a crime novel set in New York’s Lower East Side.
As he sat in the station with the untouched apricot chicken his wife had pushed on him, congealing in a tupperware box on his lap, Axlerod wondered what exactly they might be able to pin on him.

Ink illustration
The drawing was created using black drawing inks, a brush, ink dropper, a plastic fork, an old toothbrush and a dip pen.
He smiled more for show than himself, and made an extravagant gesture of cracking the apricot chicken and sticking the plastic knife Eliada had furnished him deep into the thigh. Cooking had never been his wife's strong suit and tonight's meal was no exception, but the box condensing onto his slacks now was a welcome distraction from the midnight bustle of the 7th precinct.
