I am tired all over.

Briefing myself on coursework before my first Zoom class.

Finishing a project due before class tomorrow morning.

A took a dip pen and vectorized it to death to demonstrate Gestalt principles in black and white.

Two new plants:

The one on the right that looks like a tumbleweed is a Rose of Jericho that hasn't woken up yet, and I have no idea what the red succulent is.

Type anatomy in bed this morning.

Controlled Chaos: my desk

I have to record a presentation, and oh god do I hate those.

In other news, I'm learning a new medium:

I've never used plastacine clay before, but I've wanted to break into 3D work for a long time, so this is my first rough expirement.

I may choose this for a series project in one of my design classes.

Hello. Here is a little doodle buddy to help you start your Monday.

Crowley: Sad? Buy a plant

Crowley: Happy? Buy a plant

Crowley: Sick of people? Buy a large, carnivorous plant and place it next to your door

My current motto...

Ox House

Because I believe that sharing is caring, I am going to share with you what I learned about the English alphabet.

The word alphabet is the amalgamation of the Greek words “Alpha” and “Beta”, the two first letters in an arbitrarily ordered set of characters.

The words “alpha” and “beta” are adapted forms of the first two characters of the Phoenician alphabet, which were “aleph” and “beth”. “Aleph” is Phoenician for “ox” and “beth” is Phoenician for “house”. 

So now we have Ox House.

Now, the Phoenicians developed the alphabet (each symbol represents a sound rather than an object or idea). To accomplish this, they repurposed existing symbols that referred to things that began with a specific sound. So “aleph” began with the “a” sound, so the symbol for ox is now the symbol for the “a” sound, and on it goes down the line.

The origins of our letters are things like door, fish, eye, house, ox, etc.

That's so absurd and hilarious to me. Like, of course this arbitrarily ordered set of characters is made up of random animals and body parts, why would anyone expect anything else?

How Spring break can be over now, after it barely even happened, is beyond me. The audacity!

Anyway, first day of Spring term.

I started reading this after letting it sit on my shelf for years.

seems weird that I am just walking around & nobody knows that my brain is like this

Happily snacking on my soda bread this fine St. Patrick's day.

Thinking about why my great grandmother every left Ireland for America. I mean, if she could have seen the future she probably would have thought about that a little harder, you know?

Anyway, im wearing green so no one can pinch me.☘🍀☘🍀☘

Actual footage of me and my cat during finals.

Working on this poster, but oh god are the markers getting to me...

So sleepy...

Breaking out my lightbox to work on a quick second draft of my drawing final.

My final is hand drawing a gig poster. I chose to mine for The National.
