Here is a series of Alley scenes done in crayon, ballpoint ink, and markers on panels cut from brown paper grocery bags. There is a different theme for each alley, with neighbors leaning out of windows to talk to each other. The drawings are double sided, usually with writings (many with images) on the reverse. They are about 12" by 17", some varying by an inch or so. The panels were not always cut out exactly square. All are in generally very good condition, although many have soft edges or minor corner folds, and some were originally drawn on bags that were more worn or crinkled. If you need to know the exact dimensions or other details of a particular drawing please ask.
