the ink is black the page is white : I remember when we lived in Belgium I would bring home a book that kids had at that time so that someone could write a comment. I brought mine home so my dad would draw a picture. My last memory of my dads drawing was one of the big giant who was sleeping and someone would take off the giants shoe and how alive his drawing was. 

I have only seen a few sketches my father did.
