A Book for a Plant
A wide marker illustration of two neighbours trading a blank-covered book for a potted plant, viewed through a window with ample empty space.
Small 640×427, Medium 1200×800
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. View through one broad window into a sparse room. On the right half, two neighbours face each other across a short violet table: one with a broad triangular coral sweater and tiny head, the other with an elongated indigo torso and oversized flat shoes. One participant is Deaf, depicted naturally without diagnostic symbols or equipment. Each extends one simple hand: a large blank ochre book offered from the left, a terracotta pot with three broad leaves offered from the right. Objects nearly meet above the tabletop, making a single clear barter moment. Minimal faces, clear silhouettes, simple mitten-shaped hands. Neon-green artificial rim light appears as a few bold strokes on window-facing edges. Cool blue window surround suggests winter; warm cream interior. Thin asymmetrical window border, generous uninterrupted cream space on the left. Broad marker fills, slightly irregular dark contours, minimal texture, no intricate hatching or extra props. No text, logos or watermarks.
