Ben sips morning coffee in the morning unaware that he is being watched from above by a green alien .  They Probably singled him out for further inspection based on his pointy ears. A lot of people miss these details when they travel in the canyon that can happens when you identify every single layer of rock every  time you see it.. in thebackground Bob gazes on as if he’s been stunned .

Inspired by this older guy I saw in the airport who was clearly the coolest person within about 10 miles. Stratified drawing pen with colors and some digital adjustment to make the colors brighter. He carries on through clouds of mystery as people try not to notice
