“Clarissa draws her scissars from the case
To draw the lines of poor Dan Jackson’s face;
One sloping cut made forehead, nose, and chin,
A nick produced a mouth, and made him grin”
Jonathan Swift

I have sent you step emails the last week of May. You
should be getting my second
letter soon. Does the name
Lars Elkin USA mean anything to you?

Lawrence “Lars” Elkin was a silhouettist from Idaho who began his career in Disneyland and then worked on his own after that. I had quite a lengthy correspondence with him in the 1990s, but I heard he passed away more recently. Sadly, I don’t have any of his silhouettes as we never managed to swap cuttings.
