In this town every pigeon is an art critic

While drawing this picture a pigeon (probably not liking what he saw) tried to destroy it by spreading some fresh guano over it. Luckily it hit me instead and as always I was protected by my king size hat.. Not so pleasant company today, just one man who sat in his car the whole time it took to finish this one and a lot of dried dog turds, I guess at night this is dog territory

  6. Were you in Lecce when drawing this by any chance? I was knocked unconscious by a pooping pidgeon in that Italian city of startling and faded grandeur. Incidently, that is a wonderful drawing. I rather admire your work.

  7. Oh, it's somewhere in Greece. Sorry, I often get my Greek confused with my Italian.
