Illustration Friday - afterwards

Once again, I had to use google for ideas. I found an interesting quote and, as always, my drawing qualities were inadequate for the challenge ... Here is the result:

I used Posemaniacs; I wanted to have Atlas crumbling under the weight of the world, and then raising up. I settled for a crawling Atlas. Ink and dip pen; I tried some new nibs I bought.

The world breaks everyone and afterwards, many are stronger at the broken places.
