(15) Ancient God (or Man’s Face / Holocaust Survivor)

This drawing can be either an “Ancient God” like in page 11, a generic or artistic “Man’s Face”, or perhaps more as a “Holocaust Survivor“.

(13) Large Flying Object (A Watchful Eye)

This piece is airy and light, like wings or a light sheet floating in the air like a boat sail. On the other hand, this piece can also be called “A Watchful Eye” – The eyeball is in an oval shape, and above it is the rest of the eye anatomy.

All of those small drawings were placed inside a portfolio bag. They stayed hidden (or close) in storage for many-many years.

During the same time, roughly when I was perhaps 15 years old, besides documenting my art and my father’s art, I also decided to collect all of those small drawings and placed (glued) them inside an A5 notebook because I didn’t want them to go missing, a possibility for small pieces. All of the pieces were drawn on an ordinary pupil’s notebook (A5 ruled paper). I cut out all of them carefully with scissors and glued them inside in the order I thought was right.

This notebook was created out of folded A4 papers and a pink Bristol paper for the cover. Because I had a habit of experimenting with new fonts, I wrote on the cover in artistic way.

Examples of some of the tiniest pieces:

Some medium pieces I didn’t place inside this booklet, although they are relevant.

1-6:

Every pair (such as the 2 roosters) are 2 drawings on the same piece of paper, on its both sides. As such, I couldn’t place it.

Then, I though its not relevant but seeing it now, I realize because of its small size it could’ve gone missing and therefore, I should’ve placed it as well.
