Sketchbook Saturday – Coats

If you don’t yet have a winter coat yet in my part of the world, you’ll likely find little choice at retail stores. That made me think of sketch artists who set their hand to coats and jackets from time to time. Great examples. Above: From illustrator Ema Malyauka

Titled: “Not that famous blue raincoat but still torn at the shoulder,” by Martin Blunt, adapted from a line in the song by the late Leonard Cohen: “Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older, Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder.” 

Hear the song live in Dublin on this video.
