The plate is the person

This is Lesley’s mini. It’s waiting to be collected by it’s new owner.
If I recognise the licence plate of a car belonging to someone I know,
it’s their car, not just any car of that colour and model. It’s as if the
vehicle is the person. So it can be a little weird when the person has
passed away but their car is still sitting there. If I ever see it again
after it’s gone, It’ll still be Lesley’s mini.


I also made a straightforward pencil drawing of the rear plate,
and I’ve included it here as an antidote to the above sentiment.
Back to lines, tones and form…
