Title: A Day in the Life; or, Watson, the Unreliable Narrator
Recipient: saki101
Artist: [redacted]
Rating: PG

Notes: Compressed charcoal. Many thanks to my very patient, pseudonym-less beta, and to [redacted] for helpful comments. For those who wonder what a palimpsest is (I didn't know, at least) it's a manuscript where the original text has been erased and then written over.

Captions are actual citations, from NORW, GOLD and YELL.

Saki, you mentioned wanting art, and stories weaving in different artistic aspects, and that's what inspired this. I hope you like it!

Aw, great! I'm very glad you liked this. Watson's expressions as he thought up his obfuscations - yes, Watson the unreliable narrator can be a pretty fun thing to play with *g* Thanks for your lovely comment, and for the prompt that triggered the whole idea!

You are most welcome. It is such a tender series of drawings.

(I notice a lovely similarity in our icons, too! :-D)
