Description
One of my depression mean drawings when I was a bit (a lot) a misogynistic pig (as they say). I was living in a shady neighborhood, mostly welfare people, on the welfare myself at the time. It was noisy, smelly and for the neighborhood women two attributes (not to mention excessive body fat) were obligatory: the beer bottle and the bloody cigarette. And the kids were not a lot better most of them, mean, fresh and extremely noisy. I was myself kind of a dark character, with a wild beard, crazy eyes (but no beer and no cigarette)...Slowly, I moved out from depression, from the shady neighborhood, I trimmed my beard and de-crazied the eyes... Drawing little mean drawings like this one kept me from the cuckoo nest and when I got over my mid-life crisis and depression I got over also over my misogynistic tendencies. I start loving women again, even their excessive body fat (which I have some myself) as I always did. Not a very flattering story, eh?

Such can be our human foibles, but you have done this with a touch of your own humanity, some humor, and this is excellent drawing work to express your feelings at the time. Sometimes I just love b&w drawings. One of my favorite things here is the cat in the corner! ... how expressive! v/f
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Thanks, Lenore! I do love B & W drawings too... in fact, sometimes, I am more satisfied with drawing...and if you like my cat you should also search for the one in my Self portrait "The good Shephard"...Have a nice evening!

Ion, I'm glad that you are not in that place anymore. Your work now is fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing much more!
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Very kind of you, Roger! Yes, it was a dark, sometimes frightening place...but things move on and the sun shines again...and then it rains... and so on...What they call the Russian Mountains...

A total baring of the soul Ion, not many are willing to admit their faults as you have, this is a great drawing. I hope it touches others as it has me.
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
I hope that too, Sharon! and thank you very much... It get easier to bare your soul once the depression is gone... You look at it with some amusement...
