So I just love your ghost. I remembered the flashlight eyes but only when you mentioned them.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-66751308018777179842015-12-10T07:37:48.456+01:002015-12-10T07:37:48.456+01:00There were a few years in my childhood - when I wa...There were a few years in my childhood - when I was about 10 I think - when I was very much into ghost stories. I read any I could get my hands on! But I don't think I drew or painted ghosts. Your childhood drawings are such a treasure, thank you for sharing them here with us!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-56862854180241649272015-12-09T21:04:13.458+01:002015-12-09T21:04:13.458+01:00It is kind of fun but also slightly puzzling to me...It is kind of fun but also slightly puzzling to meet one's younger self expressed in forgotten drawings :) I suspect the ghosts (there was a whole family of those, as well as the rabbits) may have been inspired by a contemporary Swedish children's picture book series - in English known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Ghost_Godfrey" rel="nofollow"> The Little Ghost Godfrey </a>. There were also TV cartoon versions of it, I think. I should have been a bit too old for those myself at the time, but considering that my brother was (still is, I suppose!) six years younger, I suppose it might make sense...
