Unseen drawings from my archives

When I first set up this, my secondary, underused blog, one of the intentions was to partially dedicate it to pieces that for whatever reason had not been scanned or photographed or uploaded previously, but were good or interesting enough to be shown. So, I was looking through some old drawings in my studio this morning & picked out a few to post here:

Figure from the back, circa 2008, 12" x 9".

The above, unsigned & undated, drawing was slightly larger than my flatbed scanner. However, no major details were cropped out.

Head & Seed, 1992, ink on paper, 11.5" x 8.25" approx.

The above brush & ink drawing was done while I was living in Paris.

Head & Eye, 1992, ink on paper, 6" x 4"

The above ink drawing was also done during the Paris years (1991-1994.) Done with a Rapidograph pen, I think.

Boy & World, 1993, ink on paper, 6" x 4"

Another Paris drawing, done with a fine brush.

Head on Stones, 2002, ink on paper, 5" x 4" approx.

A pen & ink drawing from upstate NY. When I turned this over to scan it, I discovered it had a verso image:

Man with Ram's Horns, 2002(?), ink on paper, 5" x 4"

An unfinished sketch, possibly a head of Pan (?) — I had completely forgotten about this one.
