Ear Trumpets

This show's goin' down in about a month. I'll be contributing some work along with an intimidating list of some thirty-two other artists. 

Thinking about returning to 3-D illustration for this one. There's a page torn from an old reference book in a frame on my wall; it's an etching depicting a young girl reading to her grandfather, who has his hand cupped around his ear. I think I might draw from this image, perhaps with the inclusion of a ridiculous ear trumpet.
