After finishing Nikolai Gogol's short story collections "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" my sketchbook ended up with those additional drawings. An old Cossack playing cards with a devils, witches and pigs to save his life and horse from the dark ones. That scene of a card play with a witches was epic and artistic depiction of a total cheating and deception.
My admiration to outstanding work of Ukrainian/Russian dramatist and short stories writer N.Gogol went beyond reading his books. He could be considered among one of the most innovative ones who brought a Horror/Supernatural genre elements into Russian literature in 1830-s.
Thinking of maybe turning those sketches into canvas paintings in some near possible future if my cash-flow won't bankrupt or I run out of spare from the job time.
