Un lézard et trois bouquins

I haven't drawn much lately. Not one post in february... but it's a short month, that's why.
I've done a lot of other things, I have projects, and my life is moving a little more than usual and in quite interesting ways.
I tried drawing a mandala because I didn't want to draw anything "real". It was fun.

This is the negative version - I've been inspired by Margaret's blog and her wonderful drawings and negatives! I like that negative version a lot!
This is the original one, but I think I didn't set my scanner right, it's brighter in reality.

Just read this, it was enormously interesting. I'll buy it, because it's so rich, I want to be able to reread parts of it all the time. English original title is "Songlines". First time I saw Bruce Chatwin's work was in a photography book I found at random in the library. I loved it. Since then it seems Bruce Chatwin's name appears in everything I read.

And these are two other books I read before the Chatwin. I loved the one by Sherman Alexie, it was wonderful, made me laugh and cry, and I sent one to my parents right away, for their education. The other one I struggled with, because I didn't like the dialogues, but maybe it was the translation. I love that author usually. The story was great, anyway, I didn't regret forcing myself to finish it.
