Autumn Findings

I never got round to doing a proper spring cleaning, so I'm doing it now; I came back to Athens on Tuesday evening, feeling rejuvenated and seriously aggro against the clutter in my tiny apartment. Out, old stuffy stuff!

While sorting, I came across a few things that made me think "wait -- did I make this?!"

Tengwar Calligraphy!






A couple years ago I sat down and learned to write in Tolkien's tengwar script; I always thought it was very beautiful. I was faster at writing it rather than reading it (which was also the case with some custom scripts of my own I made up in my late teens), but right now it looks downright impenetrable.

Also, ancient history :p





A weird oil sketch I must have done around ten years ago; I think I was just out of school. Couldn't remember it for the life of me!

Plus this:



A sketch and some artsy-itchy thoughts from around 2005, the latter heavily influenced by AKTO post-modernism. Ack!

I turned 28 yesterday. Time flies!

      Thank you! This was a long time ago. I wonder how shaky my hand would be nowadays!

      I've been following your work since Joumana introduced me to it, by the way. It's very beautiful!
