I was wondering if I could use this sketch in the hybrid novel (text+images working together to create the story)I'm writing for my master's degree in literature. It is about an old woman who re-reads her twenties' diary and tries to flee her past by commenting heavily on the diary entries, contradicting them, rewriting them, plus she always re-imagines herself through imaginary characters such as this femme fatale, Marilyn Monroe, etc. One of my inspirations is Graham Rawle's novels and his use of retro ephemera. I would give you credit for the image, of course, in the bibliography at the end of the novel. Thank you for considering my request,
