Yuzuko Nakamura, “Owl”

She writes:

Seeing me do art regularly, my partner Liam kept begging me to draw philosophers.

That would be Liam Kofi Bright, assistant professor of philosophy at the London School of Economics (who blogs here). She continues:

After telling him I can only draw things in anime style, he said that was fine and has been feeding me lists of philosophers he’d like me to draw next ever since. This series is on hold at the moment, but I’m hopeful that I might pick it up again.
