PORTRAITS FOR LIFE

The Art of Reading #3 : A Literate Tattoo

When you observe people reading their newspapers, above all, I guess, when they sit in a public place like our Cafe Masko, you really can see that the whole personality is involved in this act. Not only the hands which hold the paper, but also the body , the head, the hair, the lips, etc.

Even the tattoo seems “to lend an eye”!

To be honest, just by looking at the way this guy is reading, I know that he could not be my friend. You might think that I judge too quickly, but this attitude says so much about his character, I find. I would be really interested to know what YOU think he is inside, when you look at my sketch. It would be great if you could tell me in your comments…

Anyway, he was a great model for me, and I am thankful for it!

ATTENTION PLEASE!

I speak and read French, German, English, Spanish, and understand some others too…

so please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or to contact me in your own language!
