Occupy Glasgow: Wil Freeborn



On Thursday I went by George square to do a sketch of the occupy Glasgow protest. It was a lot smaller than I first thought it would be for I was sure Glasgow's socialist past would give the demonstration lots of support. As it was I started drawing this on the bench near people on their lunch break eating their sandwiches. At the time there were loads of press as members of the Glasgow council popped by for a meeting, then oddly a scuffle sparked off when a guy in a suit got upset with something. They gave a short speech where they mentioned they would move soon to the west end.

another sketch from Zuccotti Park, October 15

This is a quick sketch of a mother and son.  He had been in the navy for 10 years, he's now in the reserves.  He said, "People in the military are just like everyone else-- we know the difference between right and wrong."  His mom looked on as passerbys eagerly engaged him in conversation: "I was a single mom," she said.  I must have raised him right."
