This is not totally invented, but nearly. It just has one small link with the real world, which is that I was thinking of my friend Marion's kitchen when I drew this. She is an architect and designed her own house. The kitchen has nice, squarish proportions and lots of drawers, and a big table. And some of the walls in her house are painted a warm, terracotta-ish orange. Neither of these women is Marion, though. They are just strange people I drew out of nowhere.
The medium is Caran d'Ache crayons and obviously it was done very quickly. The chair is really a bit of a problem - it's not that I can't draw chairs, either. I don't know what I was doing. But there is still something I like about this picture. There is a kind of intense drama about the two characters.
I did this in about 2002. I don't think it has a title.
