Artist's Comments

More of last years, "Left Overs"...

I drew this guy on the air plain on my way to New York City, right before we landed.

I remember very vividly that right before I put it back in my lap-top bag before the landing, on old religious Jewish lady passed by my seat and this drawing caught her eyes and she said to me something in Yiddish. I was like "Excuse me?" (I don't speak Yiddish people!!! I DON'T!) and she said, "Oh sorry. I said this is beautiful! God have blessed you".

I was very moved by that, because I was going on a very emotional trip, and I have to say that I did not feel very blessed at that exact time. I felt very disconnected - the worst feeling. All of a sudden came this lady, like a sign or something like that and got me connected to the light again, giving me all the powers I needed to cope with things to come!

Maybe the expression resembles a bit the feelings you had during sketching?

How lovely :3 the story that goes with it I mean. It's nice when people you've never met feel it their business to compliment you. Because you know their intentions are pure. :)

And by the way I think I;ve fallen in love with this boy ;) He has such a lovely jawline. And I do have a soft spot for anything tribal. Well done <3
