After 25 years the mystery box has been opened. Found, a cornucopia of comical images that date back to the early 1970s. A couple are not even mine. Some of them I didn’t even remember until I saw them. Many are large drawings. Oh the scanning……postings to come!!
As it turned out, the prediction was fundamentally wrong. Nobody could have imagined in the mid 1970s what would happen to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Note the few remaining ruins of the old West Side Highway just to the right of the WTC. Looking back on this image, they remind me a bit of Stonehenge, whose purpose has been completely lost to time.
Although the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge still stand, the main span has collapsed and only one of the suspension cables remains.
About 3 years ago, I became fascinated by the "Life After People" show on TV.
Using CGI they were able to progressively age urban areas over the course of 1, 5, 10, 100, 500 years after all people simply disappeared from Earth. In every case, places that were once man's domain were transformed by the slow but relentless forces of nature.

But not laid back Caroline! I seem to have so much on my plate at the moment (nice stuff as well as boring must-do stuff)....As a result I have decided to take some time off flickr. Basically I need to create a bit more space in my life. All of this is temporary. Be good, be happy, and I will see you again in a few months time :O)*
ODC: multicolour
I had a look through some of my old notebooks, and I found a couple of drawings I forgot about, dresses and other girly stuff, the like of which you can see in this shot.
This box has been wrapped up and stored away for over 25 years. I have no idea what is in it. Might be some old drawings. Might be some old crap. Might be some old crappy drawings. We'll see.....

مدتها بود که می خواستم این سنگ نگاره ها رو ببینم
یالاخره تو یک بعد از ظهر داغ مرداد ماه موفق شدم
تشکر از کسی که اول بار مرا با این محل آشنا کرد

My mom found this recently and scanned it for me. I don't remember doing this drawing, but the picture of me had to have been taken by a teacher at my school, so it was probably a school thing. I'm thinking this was probably near the end of 5th grade.
Too bad my self-portrait didn't scan too well.

An old 'rubbish' drawing of mine had this sketch by my then tutor along side.
I can almost hear him telling me what to look for while/when drawing by looking at this.
I just love the crosses showing the diagonals. His enthusiasm for form shows in this and was infectious.
Sub-title in loud voice:- 'Describe the form.'
dos meus velhos passarinhos :)
que de certo são amigos das tiny people
(acho que madame besler já existia há tempos)
Before I could drive, I would take the train down to explore New York. On the way, the train would go though the New Jersey Meadowlands. One evening, the train got stuck for some reason, giving me time to draw this sketch of the Jersey swamps and the Newark skyline in the distance.
"Onion,
luminous flask,
your beauty formed
petal by petal,
crystal scales expanded you
and in the secrecy of the dark earth
your belly grew round with dew.
Under the earth
the miracle
happened
and when your clumsy
green stem appeared,
and your leaves were born
like swords
in the garden,
the earth heaped up her power
showing your naked transparency,
and as the remote sea
in lifting the breasts of Aphrodite
duplicating the magnolia,
so did the earth
make you,
onion
clear as a planet
and destined
to shine,
constant constellation,
round rose of water,
upon
the table
of the poor.
You make us cry without hurting us.
I have praised everything that exists,
but to me, onion, you are
more beautiful than a bird
of dazzling feathers,
heavenly globe, platinum goblet,
unmoving dance
of the snowy anemone
and the fragrance of the earth lives
in your crystalline nature."
~ Pablo Neruda, 1904-1973 ~
Found an old, old sketch pad and this was in it. This is the page, scanned - pencil and ink or watercolour I think - too long ago to remember. There's a red cabbage below.

We have the saying in Holland: 'varkentje wassen' it means something like 'to get a (difficult) job done'. 😃😍🐖💞
"When the children were young I used to read them my own fantasy stories and made watercolour pencil drawings."
From English Language and Literature 1947.
I think The Frivolous Victorians would be a great name for a band.

A Lady of Gyantse - Tibet
A fascinating Pencil Drawing by S.G.Robin's drawn in 1944.
Note how her hair goes through her very strange elaborate headdress. (patuk)
She has a gold or silver charm box around her neck and jewellery with precious stones.
She is most likely a wife of an official.
Or could this be the "Tibetan Princess, of 1879" in the year 1944 ? she does look in her 80s ? so could be ?
Pencil drawing.
Size 6" x 8" or 150mm x 200mm
Age 1944.
Private collection.
Gyantse is a very big Buddhist area of the Yellow Hat Monks
"one of five Robin's drawings that i have"
So who is S.G Robins ?
Maybe a the close family member of Captain A.G.H Robins of Rajput Regiment, British Raj. He was a Government of India's Officer in Tibet.
He relieves Capt Finch in July 1944.
A.G.H Robins (originally acting as trade agent) took command till October 1945.

"If an inaudible whistle
blown between our lips
can send him home to us,
then silence is perhaps
the sound of spiders breathing
and roots mining the earth;
it may be asparagus heaving,
headfirst, into the light
and the long brown sound
of cracked cups, when it happens.
We would like to ask the dog
if there is a continuous whir
because the child in the house
keeps growing, if the snake
really stretches full length
without a click and the sun
breaks through clouds without
a decibel of effort,
whether in autumn, when the trees
dry up their wells, there isn't a shudder
too high for us to hear.
What is it like up there
above the shut-off level
of our simple ears?
For us there was no birth cry,
the newborn bird is suddenly here,
the egg broken, the nest alive,
and we heard nothing when the world changed."
~ Lisel Mueller, 1924- ~
Quick sketches from a very old sketch pad. I thought I would scan to save them before the paper becomes too old. Interestingly, today - St Patrick's Day - would have been his birthday. He was a fantastic and very lovely dog - but he had a mind of his own too! I remember my mother training him not to touch anything in the kitchen when he was a fairly young puppy - she said she had to be sure things were not touched. She placed a newly baked cupcake on a kitchen chair and told him to sit and stay. She then left the room for 5-10 minutes. When she came back the cake was there with drools nearby - but it had not been touched. He was given it as a reward for his good behaviour. He was not allowed to beg for food when we were eating. His behaviour in this was impeccable until the day, a freshly roasted chicken proved too much temptation. As I remember, that was his only misdemeanour on the food front but he did go awol a few times when a certain bitch was in heat.

An old image...a really old image. Done for a character that never ended up being in Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse several years ago.
Taken this morning (Thursday 24th March) for the Project 365 Group/5th Anniversary of my joining Flickr.
An old painting one of my late grandparents did which I got as a Crimbo pressie from when I was a wee nipper!
It's a painting of one of the turtles from the original 1987 cartoon series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (renamed as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles here in the UK for legal reasons), it appears to be Raphael, the obnoxious one though Michaelangelo was my favourite back then - hence my real name and what i'm colloquially known as by many of my fellow Flickrites!
Just for fun, anyone wanna guess who my favourite character is today from the original show?
