My first post under this name came out soon after I started doing this blog - almost three years ago. As I did then, I still admire Victor's ability to convey a certain human state, or emotion or mood using a minimum amount of artistic means, simply a few lines!
The truth is that Victor does not draw a particular mood or emotion or state. He usually starts drawing without even knowing what will come out of it, and he never gives names to his drawings as he works on them or right after. From my experience, he entitles them only when he sends them to me, and I have observed, at least a few times, how the same drawing could have totally different titles, and both of them would be fitting for those particular occasions that he chooses to send these drawings.
All drawings in this post were selected and sent to me as responses to my requests on particular topics (see several posts about "Challenge"). In other words, I give Victor a theme/idea/word, and he finds a drawing that illustrates it. Because these drawings are saved chronologically in his folder on my computer, I realized recently that I can use them to restore the time-line of my own emotions, to some degree! But because I don't have any intention to make it public, I will place them here out or order.

Victor, the artist, needs your HELP! If you've been here already, you know about my fundraiser. If not - please read at
Last Fall, I was able to collect and to send him $12,500 for cancer treatment, but he needs more.
He is my friend and a talented artist. But I cannot afford this myself. Please contribute whatever you can. Also, please spread this information.
As a sign of gratitude, Victor and I would like to send you a print of his drawing - see
