    I like these 3 drawings that were in a mixed auction lot. Are these originally tourist buys? First one is awaiting fixative spray, the second and third are behind reflective glass, popular in the 70s? Each is signed Hill.

    They do look like products of street artists. RU sure they are from Africa?

    No, not at all sure and Haiti may well be more accurate

    Haitian is more likely, but there's no way to be sure.
