But first...
Dulltown, UK: Today's facial feature is 'surprised eyebrows'...

Yes, today we are going back a few days to that post with a photo, dear reader - the one with a pair of reading glasses, and a notepad with the rough drawing on it. Click here.
Well, now is the time to show you the finished 'artist's proof' print of the edition!
Mind you, the final print is so much like the rough sketch, I might as well not bother.
Oh dear, and I'll expect that you want me to say something about the work; art is to be looked at, not talked about! Was it Leonardo da Vinci, or Otto Dix, who first said that?
Actually, it was neither of them, I'm making this up as I go along, but I seem to filling this blank page rather nicely.
What's the weather like where you are?
Here it's a clear sharp May morning, but according to the BBC radio, there may be just a few light showers later on in the day.
I expect you want me to stick the photo of the print on, now.
Lino Print. 2021. Oil-based ink on thin Japanese paper, about A4 in size.
I suppose the three-dimensional effect is the most obvious characteristic of this one. We seem to have three, or is it four, levels of distance, depending on how you judge how far away those small triangles are. I recall I was a bit unsure about putting them in, but looking at it now on my screen, I think they are alright, and I like the way they get a bit smaller to the top of the comp - ah, just a little bit more depth, you see.
You see, when God created the universe, and being a Monday morning, He was working on some asteroids to put into space, you know just to confuse the humans when they came on the scene later, see, at first they were going to be triangular, but He thought that would be a bit too obvious, rocky ones would be better, more mysterious, for the humans to discover, you see. Unfortunately, He mislaid a couple of His galaxy creating tools, left them, hanging there in the void, just as he was off to the far side adjusting the curved lines of space-time radiating in. 'Damn!' He said, 'where did I put my two 'I' shaped modular galaxy gravity angular profile adjusters?...'
Dear reader, is the sort of thing that you wanted?
Or, should I have just kept quiet? And not spoiled the thing?...
