Complete Lady - and Half of Her!

For some reason, our home will take in more paper than it will send out. This mesh of paper consists of newspapers and magazines, advertising efforts of companies and salesmen and, of course, colossal piles of A4's. I tend to wait and let them rest all over our home until my wife asks in a very polite way (typical for her): "Do you think that we have a lot of paper here?".

After such an occasion I started to invent my papers and what I found: A Complete Lady and Half A Lady! These ink drawings were made in winter 2006 when I joined a course of living model drawing in the center of our city. I am not sure what has happened to the upper half of the lady, 2nd in row - maybe I was not satisfied with it or I needed her face for other purposes.

It is always nice to find something which has been lost a long time ago. Like now!

Old drawing from my student times!

I was very pleased when, during cleaning of my old papers (and there are really lost of them!), I found this old drawing, dated 25.3.1975. I was living in Viikki, Helsinki, Finland on those days, studying microbiology / limnology / chemistry in HU. My student home was situated in a walking distance from university, in the middle of forests and fields. This area is fulfilled with institutes and other houses today - only the fields are mainly left untouched for the use of agricultural trials and training by the university.

I shall fix this old drawing to avoid further degradation of it. It has value for myself because it seems to be the first drawing after my school years. - Maybe frames, too?

An old drawing - who knows this site?

I have started to invent my old drawings. Here is an example of calligraphy felt-tip pen technique.

Who knows this site? I will help: it is situated in Finland...
