This was a kinda surrealistic sense of the inside of my apartment in Japan, back in 1985. The wind would blow thru the windows at night, bringing the curtains to life, it was hypnotic to watch... As with my other drawings this was done with black ink on white paper... It took about 3 weeks to complete, i think....

Whoa! You are seriously talented Chris! It would be hard for me to choose a favourite from your colection in this portfolio, but this might be it. I could look at this for a long time, and still see something new. The detail is impressive and the picture "breathes!" You have captured light, depth, and movement exquisitely. It is at once thoughtful and intense...but also playful! I am intrigued by what might be behind the cutain. Love it!Anonymous Guest 25 Apr 2009
this is beautiful! Wonderful lines and depth. I like the altered perspective of the wall to the right and the ripples in the floor. Ink is such a dramatic and precise media. I hope you enjoyed working on it. However, I want to know what seems to be peaking out from under the curtain? The curtain that you did give a wonderful movement to.Delia Pacheco 03 Jan 2009
