A Place to Listen
A squat timber listening pedestal with oversized headphones beside a simplified old wall, illustrated with marker fills and stitched outlines.

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, landscape 1.85:1. At the left third, a squat, slightly lopsided timber oral-history listening pedestal supports an absurdly oversized pair of headphones on a small hook. The broad headphone arch and two chunky ear cushions form the dominant silhouette; one short cord connects them to a single large circular playback button on the pedestal. Behind it, a low fragment of old clay-coloured masonry establishes a heritage setting, using only three broad block shapes. Leave the right half mostly open oat-coloured space. Loose broad marker fills, dark brown dashed running-stitch contours and a few longer threadlike curves; textile-inspired without intricate embroidery or hatching. Flat oat and clay palette, simple grounding shadow, playful asymmetry, instantly legible at thumbnail size. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
