The Film School Student

 This drawing harks back to an original which the artist produced in their early prime in the year 1994. It is essentially an effort to reproduce ancient charms in place of new inspirations. This reproduction was made from an old low-quality photocopy of the presumably lost original. It features a Caucasian male in front of a large library or university canteen window overlooking a Japanese garden, wearing a designer pullover inspired by one worn by Akira Kurosawa on the occasion of one of his latest interviews, probably in the early 1990's. It is drawn with mechanical pencil on the back of a French Exacompta folder in an exquisitely elegant warm red tone. Some highlights where added to the shrine and tree in the upper left corner. Grease marks will fade over time.
