this one was one of those sitters - sat on the kitchen table with many mini visits between other thumb drawings. I kept getting distracted by stupid things, plus I got caught trying too hard and lost the spark. then I added the key and cranked it. out came the thumbprint. at first a bad black smudge. Corrected by being completely blacked out. Then reborn with a thumb dipped in a smear of white from a perfectly sealed, unopened til now pack of gauche tubes that I had bought about 8 years ago in Toronto and brought over with us to Budapest. I opened it finally to make one single white thumb print.
