Very recently my family had to say goodbye to a wonderful Aunt who lived a long and proud life. She (like my father) was born and raised in the village of Anavryti located in the Taygetos mountains outside of Sparta, Greece. It is a beautiful small village that has so much rich history and character.

I talk about the Anavryti village because I recently started a side project in sketching from (preferably old) photographs of the people who had lived there. Doing things, doing nothing, having fun, working hard and just capturing the life and essence of what being in that village is like. Unlike my WAR sketchbook series, this series is is done digitally. I hope to make a nice little book out of these when I feel like I did enough. I think my Aunt would of liked that.
