Does the fact that I know what Letraset is makes me old?

Um - well - in fact - yes
but no worries, not as old as me

Well, you can say you were old before it was cool.

Simple, but tells a lot to me. It is magical that you achieve this all the time

i read what Vic said. at first i couldn't see. well, even now i can't. maybe the exhale. i do seem like i'm exhaling my... my self maybe?
the fork seems to have the most powerful presence in this composition

they're such different images! there's one visual coincidence, the little scrap that says "five" goes out on the right hand side sort of like the "ectoplasm" in your image. there is scribbly energy on the left of each too. and i think maybe "exhale" as a theme, yeah.
here, yes, i think it's largely about the fork.

fork toward five sounds very much like four toward five, did you think about this or is it just plan lacanian interpretation on my part?
Anyway, love the composition and pallette

Oh that's good! But I didn't notice it, that's one for Lacan
And thank you!

I've got little to add to Crussol12 's comments, except to say that I like the balance and the simplicity of the composition. Nice work!
(Also, this showed up in my messages right next to Hanan's fear and loath , and it struck me as an oddly appropriate pairing.)

Thanks, Vic!
And wow, yes - my message center is overfilled and I hadn't even seen Hanan's image yet. I love coincidences like that.

The marks here are just right -- some pencil, some ink(?). I also like the way the dashed ink line, what looks like embossed line in the blue and the line in the brown wrapping paper all echo each other.

Thanks, Ken. Pencil and Letraset (just updated the description). I was trying for that echo to complete the composition - glad it comes across.
