#anachronism

Rewatching "The Crown" on Netflix, and I was bemused to see this #anachronism: John Lithgow as Prime Minister Winston Churchill, writing with what is clearly a modern Pelikan M200 #FountainPen. While Pelikan pens certainly did exist in 1952, they didn't look anything like that. The M200 is a currently produced model. But, I also wonder if a German pen was something that Mr. Churchill would ever have used, especially only 7 years after the end of the war.

n.

1. The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in other than chronological, proper, or historical order.

With great pleasure, I announce that my drawing Entre Sombras is a winner in The Pre-Raphaelite Society’s annual art competition and will be appearing in the new issue of their journal, The PRS Review. It’s an honor to have my work acknowledged by the PRS.

This morning I started my day with a cup of coffee, and David Bowie on my iPod as I journaled. Songs like Changes and Life On Mars will never get old. I did this drawing of David a few years ago; it’s a transitional piece — my style was evolving into something that was much closer to who I am. 2017. Pen and ink on paper.
