A street in Lefkara, Cypress

This is an older drawing I did about 14 years ago when I was in Cypress. It's pencil and has always been too light. That's why I have started using more charcoal. I love the deep, blacks. Can't get that in pencil. I photo shopped this and intensified it. It's a little faky like that, but pops better.

You can see I was hung up on detail back then. I'm evolving away from that. I'm more into shapes, mass-void stuff now. I really don't know jack shit about what I'm doing and should take some courses. Ain't got the time or money now. Put most of my life into my architecture career which at best, has left me penniless. Plus, most architects have cobs up their collective, self-admiring asses. I pulled mine out and it feels much better already.

Yeah, Frank, you were great - but c'mon, your buildings leaked and fell down. You were better as an artist.
