My favorite scene from The Outsiders, when the three Curtis brothers are reunited with each other after the youngest, Ponyboy, ran out after having an argument with the oldest, Darry. The book and film are set in Tulsa.

The portrait’s title is taken from a song of the band Lawrence, “Come On, Brother”. The lyrics involve the lead singer, Clyde Lawrence, reassuring his younger brother that everything will be alright if they hold on to each other. Originally I was going to name this as “Stay Gold Ponyboy”, the book’s most famous line. But this song, which I listened to repeatedly in the process of this drawing, just seemed the more fitting choice for the mood in the scene depicted, the brothers coming together again.
