The artist describes asking Kevin, a homeless man in San Diego, for permission to make his portrait: “I met Kevin near the railroad tracks where there were no businesses and few people. He looked very alone. He pointed to his hospital wristband – perhaps to tell me he was mentally ill. He looked tough and mean from a distance, but up close he seemed the opposite.” W W W .
