This is all great news! Any excuse to be in another show, especially at such a low price! Problems? What drawings do I display? I have so many that I have done since I moved to Kanto and started going to Dr Sketchy’s. With an exhibition, artwork usually has to be framed. Most of my frames are still in Kyushu. My drawings tend to be large, so a new frame would cost a lot. I would also need to erase smudges, spray them with fixative, and iron the paper. Some of my favourite drawings I also gave to the models! Yikes!

Please ignore the shadows and wrinkles in the paper. This is quite a large drawing, about a metre long. It is one of several that I like of Coppelia Circus. (My drawings tend to be much larger and more gestural than many of the other participants.)

These are all of Coppelia Circus and are about poster size. Do I want to buy more frames? Do I also want to buy mats for them? The paper is cheap and will yellow over time, but that never stopped other artists like Lautrec or Degas.

I think this is Bee Tiny Tot. This one is also poster size. I really like this one because of its simplicity.

This one is of Haruka Delsole and her gold chains. It is a little smaller than the poster-sized ones but it is still a little too large for the frame I have here with me.

I also have a few on Oriental paper used for calligraphy practice. The ones I have are long and thin. Half of one sheet is about two-thirds the size of the poster ones.  If I trim these and possibly cover some of the bottom, I might be able to get these to fit in the frames I have but I would need a new mat. These are slimmer than the artwork I previously framed. This blue sketch is of Odile.

This is also on that long, slim sheet of paper. This one is a conte sketch of Rice the Frog Mama.

This one is drawn on four small sheets of Oriental paper that I glued together. Maybe this is Acco, but I am not sure.

These are small sheets of Oriental paper, smaller than a sheet of letter paper. I could easily put two of these in one frame if I get a new mat cut.

I have other sketches but these either seemed the most adaptable or ones that caught my eye when I was going through them all. What do you think? Which one or which combination should I use?
