A European Hillbilly and Bats Blaming Each Other

Azechi Umetaro, A European Hillbilly

Somehow I wound up digging around on sites with Japanese prints today. These could be incredibly common images, but they are all new to me. The authority on such things is lotusgreen and her incredible blog Japonisme, so go there for more, and visit her links.

Three-Way Rorschach Test

This post now resides on my other site 50 Watts:

Victor Hugo, Shadows of a Hand

Victor Hugo, Marine Terrace with initials, 1855

As promised, here some more of Hugo's drawings. I hadn't realized Shadows of a Hand: The Drawings of Victor Hugo was still available (reasonably priced too!) from the Drawing Center, so do yourself a favor and buy it before it's gone. Click on the image below to go to the Drawing Center site.
