| While Norman was writing his stories
about Micomicon, he was busy with pen drawings, watercolours and
etchings. Love on
Earth was etched at this time, as Norman described in a letter to
son Jack: I have covered the plate of Love on Earth with its finest needling.
Very slowly and carefully done, and very trying to the eyes, fingers
and nerves. The slowness of this technique is a devilish test of
endurance. To relieve its monotony, I have been writing some Micomicon
stories. |
