Kavalla used to be the center of the Greek tobacco industry you can still see remnants of a glorious part while strolling through the city. If you come buy a interesting or beautiful building it's almost certainly in heavy decay. This first I did while sitting on a heavy trafficked way, a kind man stopped his car and gave me some water and a bottle of juice, very kind.
Hopefully the graffiti on the wall means nothing in particular, if you are able to read greek please see if you can decipher it's meaning. As a downside to drawing on place my but tend to hurt after one hour or so, hopefully a rich Greek Diet will put some much needed lard on my bony behind..

It says "Do not draw this building".
ReplyDeleteDu vet, man tittar hela tiden efter en knasig gris eller liknande som ska titta ut genom någon springa eller komma flygande runt hörnet.
ReplyDeleteMoleskin i all ära, men är det inte synd. Tänk om du ska ha en utställning med dina Kavalla bilder, hur gör du då?
no it says death to your civilization!
ReplyDeleteJodå camilla jag tänker gå över till papper vad det lider men jag känner mig lite rostig serru
ja, det syns då inte. Då väntar vi med förskräckelse på när du är uppvärmd ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see another aspect of your talent. I like the very subtle colours. I don't envy you drawing in that heat!
ReplyDeleteI love your drawings and its style!
ReplyDeleteThese realistic sketches are a nice change of pace! You should do more stuff like this!
ReplyDeleteSuperb Mattias! Hej from sunny California!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Felicity - nice to see this side of you. These are beautiful sketches.
ReplyDeleteHej Bror!
ReplyDeleteVäldigt, väldigt fina. Och jag håller med Camilla. Svårt med Moleskin om du ska ställa ut dina bilder, vilket jag absolut tycker att du ska.

That building on top is amazingly gorgeous! Your talent really shines in these drawings!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful their drawings. I liked everything that I saw here in the blogg. Creativity is magnifies. Do you draw direct without doing the sketch before?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
thanks all, yes it's rather hot
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful drawings... I never seem to have the time or patience to just sit and draw the world around me...sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see these, cheers Mattias.
ReplyDeleteMy Greek friend says it's more or less nonsense and he can't find any meaning in it. Great sketch though!
ReplyDeleteThe anglicized version of the greek says "phola-ston poaitismosa" I think, but it doesn't seem to make any sense.
