A nude woman reclines across a bed, hair ablaze in crimson, wearing only an open yellow checkered shirt — equal parts vulnerable and unbothered. Her posture is casual, her look direct. Below, the handwritten line “You worry too much…” acts both as caption and emotional counterpoint — a phrase tinged with irony, dismissal, or quiet affection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCushenberry, known for his work at the intersection of photography, skate culture, and graphic storytelling, approaches his subjects like frames from a personal film. Here, the presence of the figure is magnetic: the use of graphite and Prismacolor gives her body a soft yet assertive volume, while acrylic brushstrokes sculpt the textured surface of her environment — pink bedsheets, a lavender pillow, walls that oscillate between comfort and exposure. There are echoes of 90s DIY comics, of artists like Aline Kominsky-Crumb or Julie Doucet, filtered through Cushenberry’s unmistakable voice: Afro-American, multidisciplinary, observant, and unafraid of contradictions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece is part of a body of small-format portraits that replicate the language of instant photography not through technology, but through manual memory. Signed on the reverse, the image pulses with painterly imperfections — creases, ridges, textures — reinforcing its tactile, one-of-a-kind presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObject: Original drawing on Bristol paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTitle: “You worry too much…”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ Author: Edward Cushenberry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDate: 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnique \/ Method: Prismacolor pencil, graphite, ink, and acrylic paint\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Bristol paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: Unique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned: Yes, on reverse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 10.8 × 8.9 cm (4.25 × 3.50 in)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Excellent, with expressive surface marks and folds inherent to the piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvenance: Darwin Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52338579407186,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/DSC4476_2_56ecc3ca-a695-47c1-9183-f32b3eb039d0.jpg?v=1767989802","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/sin-nombre-23dic_21-45","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
