On the Street. Real Life Manga, Metro Helsinki

Two friends dressed in long black wool coats. It starts to be that time of the year. The season of black outfits. Many people rely on black, when the cold season crawls out from the spot it has been hiding during sunny season. 

This sight turned my head and this pale girl was nailed to my mind. Some tone of manga characters, big clumsy boots and sheer white shirt with a scarf that is more like rope. The scarf turned many times round the neck. No makeup. This sight includes symbolism to November that starts in two days.

On the Street. October Like Grey Flannel, Helsinki

October, the month of Inktober. Let’s participate, at least this first day.

I saw this guy in Habitare fair last year. Just found this illustration under a pile of papers. Habitare is the yearly organized interior, design and furniture fair in Helsinki. Good place to see somebody to draw after.

In October we dive in to the grey, rain and puddles. This blonde fellow was dressed in the tones of black, grey wool flannel trousers, white shirt and black v-neck knit. Fits to the mood. Classic and cosy. To be in style, we can always trust in classics.
