There a big difference between alone and lonely. Alone can be lonely however it can be a nice quiet peaceful experience too. Lonely engenders a longing, a missing part, a wanting of something that you do not have. It could be a friend, a lover, a companion. a relationship with something more than yourself. Our consumer culture loves this for advertising wants to rush in to fill this need with pointed smiles and products promising a smell that attracts or a diet that thins to the desire of others. Funny how, when you are in a lonely mood, that the pointed smiles hurt, driving you deeper into the lonely mood thus needing more of the right deodorant or right car or right food. It seems that finding a way to share, not consume is a bigger, better, new and improved cure for loneliness. And it is less taxing on the pocket book.

A wise post... and some really nice sketches. :)
I like the mystery of the silhouetted figure(s) ... Those smiles are certainly not the warm comforting type...
I also like the sketch in number 4 with the 2 or 3 people atop each other with what looks like a broken gingerbread man of sorts. I'm not sure exactly how to read it, but I like the fragmentations.
