Held by the Quiet – Art Print

When I started painting on old book pages, I was drawn to the contrast—fluid watercolor layered over stories already told. This piece is part of that exploration. A single male figure, brought to life on an upcycled book page, hand-embellished with inks, acrylics, and more. These aren’t prints pulled from a stack. Each one is original, painted by hand, with the texture of the paper and the faded words beneath adding their own quiet voice.

⭐️ One-of-a-kind artwork on a vintage book page
⭐️ Hand-embellished with acrylics, ink, sharpies, and other media
⭐️ Signed by the artist
⭐️ Each piece measures between 5x7.5" and 6.25x9.5"
⭐️ Rich detail and layered texture—no two are alike
⭐️ Frame not included

Perfect for collectors of queer art, lovers of book page art, or anyone who wants something bold and intimate for their wall. The page itself might be out of print, but what’s painted on it is just beginning to tell its story.
