a stylised traditional drawing of an elderly womans face on the carapace of a bright, shy red and pink beetle with a purple thorax and soft blue legs and antennae. the beetle sits on a sea green backround surrounded by pink and yellow cypress flowers and green vines. the entire drawing is done with alcohol marker, colored pencil and various shades of pen, using pinstripes to contour the face and create a grooved texture on the beetles shell.
