This is a pencil/photoshop job drawn from a picture in a National Geographic. He looks uncannily like my late Gung-gung. Maybe that is why I'm quite fond of it. I think he is making jewelry.
I called him George because I was watching Seinfeld at the time and I think he's loosely based on my favourite character. It's a shame though, the scanner does something awful to this pencil. All grain and grit.
