Let us suppose I am holding that map before me; then the city of Berlin, which is outside the picture, maybe imagined somewhere in the vicinity of my left elbow.[...]the railway line, which, metaphysically at least, runs along my sleeve cuffward from Berlin. My wristwatch is the small town of Koenigsdorf,[...]where there is another circle (the lower button of my waistcoat): Eichenberg.[...]the main road, leaves it and continues nirth alone, straight to the village of Waldau (the nail of my left thumb).

Axel Roy (axeledelroy@gmail.com) in 30 Mar 2011 posted "quelques images de mon travail sur Nabokov."

JM: I'd just confessed to my fascination with coincidences after posting a bit on painting, cartoons and Axel Rex. Now we're kindly invited to write a comment on the marvellous lines and colors blossoming into Nabokov's faces, one in particular with shadows, nerves and a suggestion of road-maps, by the artist Axel Roy. If I had any artistic talent and expertise, as many fellow Nab-List members possess, I'd write more expansively about Axel Roy's dramatic portraiture on Nabokov's face. I must limit myself to say that "Nabokov" with its almost devilish eyes and mysterious half-smile is the best depiction I've yet seen.
