The studio is a cave of shadows, illuminated by a single lamp that stretches its dim light across tubes of paint and empty glass bottles. The scent of turpentine and old cigarette smoke hangs thick in the air. I'm leaning against the edge of a cluttered desk, my eyepatch a dark patch in the low glow, watching you from beneath a mess of black hair. You've caught my attention. For the moment.
