LET'S GET REAL

Okay, for all of you spoil sports who don't like my (incredibly beautiful) AI generated images, I have some REAL art for you. Some real crappy art.

My long-time faithful blogger friends (all three of you) have already seen these, but I love reruns.

These are some pen & ink pictures that I drew in my creative youth - - around the ages of 18 to 20 or so. I did a lot of them, but most have disappeared.

Some of my drawings were published in literary magazines and a few other places (remember "Good Old Days" magazine?)

At an early age I came to the grim conclusion that I'm no artist, but it was an agreeable pastime.

This one was published in Good Old Days (I wonder if that magazine still exists)

Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924) 

Italian opera composer

I did this with brown ink, in the art nouveau style

 

Barbara la Marr (1896 - 1926) silent screen movie star

I think this was my very first pen and ink drawing

 

Modest Mussorgsky (1839 - 1881)

Russian composer

A woodcut that I did of the Titanic

P.S.

I'm not in the mood to give medical updates. There's nothing new to tell - - except I'm severely depressed and feel completely, hopelessly trapped. Blogging gets my muddled mind off of unpleasant things.

And there are a helluva lot of unpleasant things in my life.......

ANOTHER P.S.

I just noticed something about my woodcut. The Titanic had four smoke stacks, but only three worked. The fourth one was a dummy, only there for aesthetic reasons.

The Titanic on my woodcut has four working smoke stacks. I'm wondering if anyone noticed.
