I thought it would be fun to draw Osamu Tezuka's Gesicht with Naoki Urasawa's Gesicht. (they're besties)

“It’s not ‘natural’ to speak well, eloquently, in an interesting articulate way. People living in groups, families, communes say little–have few verbal means. Eloquence–thinking in words–is a byproduct of solitude, deracination, a heightened painful individuality.”

— Susan Sontag, As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh (via the-book-diaries)

“There was some little waltz in the way he spoke to her and the way he thought.”

— The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje

I like this Gesicht sketch from the Urasawa artbook... his profile resembles the original design more closely

“You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch. Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy. You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like. If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way.”

— Julien Smith, The Flinch (via wnq-anonymous)

Pastoral Summer

[churchrummagesale]

this summer seemed like the longest stretch of time….. i would spend many hours biking on back roads and sometimes i would find abandoned places. this one puzzled me… it was falling apart and peeling, but someone came to mow the lawn. i never did get the courage to go up to the balcony and peek into the windows. sometimes i got really lucky when i was biking around, i would find an open house. then i would ditch my bike in the grass and not have to worry about parking in the driveway and spend an hour looking at little things and taking pictures
