This will be the final post with the last four drawings I made back in 1994 for an exhibition which was going to be held, but never took place. In previous posts I've mentioned the reasons why the exhibition never took place. Because this all took place about 15 years ago, memories can be different from what exactly happened and you get curious about what experienced others , but I lost track of the people who were involved with that project, so I can't check the facts.Anyway, the top drawing was an interpretation of an typical alley in Leiden, influenced by the work the Dutch illustrator Anton Pieck made. Although you might say that didn't work out.
I also tried to make two drawings of buildings in front of water: always a challenge.
A high level of "Addams Family atmosphere" when I look at them now. The building below is an old part of the city wall, build in the 14th century.
And I'm not sure in what era the buildings of this last drawing were build, but it must be about two hundred years ago. I couldn't find any information about this place, mainly because it's in Rabac, an old village in Croatia.
That's the beauty of an archive: you're surprised when you get a glimps of old work and get curious about when, why and how you've made it.

These are amzing drawings...very nice work!
Beautiful work! I'm a sucker for buildings and details! My favorite is the ally at the top... really lets the eye wander in a lovely way.
Just came across your blog. Love the little street in Leiden. Being Dutch, Anton Pieck also has a place in my heart. Your interpretation shows your drawing language and that is what matters I think.
