Carrying the Weather
A long-legged older courier walks along a grassy verge beneath a storm sky, carrying a disproportionately large coral delivery bag.

Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Grass-level view of one older walking courier on a bare roadside verge, positioned in the left third and striding right. Distinctive narrow torso, exaggerated long legs, short silver hair, minimal profile face and simple hands. An enormous boxy coral insulated delivery bag sits high on their back; their purposeful forward lean counters its weight. A plain ochre rain jacket lifts slightly in the wind. Sparse grass strokes along the bottom; ample open slate-blue storm sky to the right, with one pale opening outlining the figure. Expressive hand-drawn marker colour blocks combined with copperplate-inspired dark umber contours: slightly wavering, broken ink edges and a few sparse etched lines, no intricate hatching. Warm ivory paper grain, limited palette, strong thumbnail-readable silhouette. Quietly playful proportions, dignified worker, no extra figures or decorative props. No text, logos or watermarks.
