Started reading about Mata Hari recently, and inspired to begin drawing a portrait of her from an old actual photograph of her. Really enjoying the fountain pen cross-hatching detail in the sketchbook of secrets.
This is conceptually a long way from the Billverse, but the nature of Mata Hari might fit certain characters in the Billverse.
Is she? or isn’t she? or who is she?
It is fortunate that you enjoyed the cross-hatching. I remember Frank Kelly Feas’ comment after he had done a monochrome illustration with pontiallistic shading for the first (and last) time. It drove him nuts.
Ah! An interesting woman.
Perhaps this is the start of an engraved portrait for a 13-Euro note for the Netherlands or Germany?
