Parachutist with One Shoe. Pencil on paper. 6 by 8½. 2003. From a WWII matchbook cover.

Maybe I've said this elsewhere: a long time ago paper matchbooks had the striking strip on the front side if the book. It was then possible, if one was very cool—as I was, to fold the match down, strike it and light one's cigarette using only one hand! I practiced this until I could do this with considerable savoir-faire, with which I hoped to impress girls.
