In a fascinating little series, illustrator Sean Lewis explores the lives of lonely men, ranging from Oil Barons to Garden Gods, to Suburban Runners.  The concept behind it is interesting, showcasing large, towering figures as actually more fragile than they might first appear. Titling the series Lonely Men, we get a sense that careers or designations can be more solitary than you might think. Lovingly illustrated with colored pencils, via Behance:
