Modern Mix-Up

Portrait drawing in the cubist style, with combined straight and curving lines. Flat, illustrated drawing of a Native American male youth,  shown facing forward from the shoulders up. A two-toned (yellow/white), decorative and translucent band (appearing mystical) embellishes the figure's eyes, running horizontally across the image. The figure has long, straight hair with a single eagle feather (at top) and wears a silver shirt with small eagle motif. Bennett Brien uses subdued pastels and pencil to achieve his moods, often with mythical storylines of human and animal transformations.
