I grew up with this portrait on my bookshelf. Initially I thought it's a portrait of Louis Aragon, since that's what the book next to it had it on its spine. But then I started reading (and re-reading) all his works, first in Russian, and later in English. I miss this old portrait. I need to get back to reading his works too.
A couple of firsts for me:
1) using a grid (it does help!)
2) using smooth bristol with CPs
