City man: At last I can breathe! No newspapers, no gambling, no one I know!
On his first day he dedicates himself to taking care of the vegetable garden.
On the second day he builds and paints a fence and enjoys himself, feeding the chickens.
On the third day he walks through the fields, in search for flowers and romance, and dedicates himself to fishing.
But during the remaining 27 days, he reads newspapers, plays the domino and goes train spotting, hoping to see a familiar face.

You pick a napkin, tie three knots, hold the napkin from the ends that don't have a knot, and you make it turn on itself a few times, thus creating the dashing character you see before you.

Almanaque Bertrand, 1938 - How many mistakes
From the Pearson's Weekly: The artist made a few mistakes when he executed this drawing, not all of them obvious. See if you can spot them.
A Calm Beginning
Nadja Bournonville, A Form of Protection (2008)What I like most are the hands.
And the neck.
It's tense. See the two lines suavely drawing their way into the chest. And the hands, a pianist's hands, playing out their protagonism, exploring the absent look to shine, and yet tense, they remain, maybe, it's what they hold, and not who?
