A Speccy Man Has A Breakdown - day 45

Falling into a padded envelope

No audio today.

<< Day 41

Here’s a new picture of the proof copy of the book, sliding into an envelope:

Speccy Man book falling into an envelope, his hands raised as if in alarm.

The figure on the book’s cover is, in the original drawing, standing in a yoga sun salute – arms raised, eyes cast down. I quite liked the comic effect of the raised hands as he drops into the envelope.

Spectacles photographed alongside, as seems fitting for a book with this title.

Postscript: I posted this photo on Instagram and LinkedIn, as a first tentative step into social media, and received encouraging replies, including this from someone who was a support to me at the time:

So proud of you JP – Kristen
