They look better on paper
These are little typographical things that I mocked up for letterpress class. Numbers one and three turned into actual prints; I’ll show you pictures of them eventually.
Today, I read part of a book that uses text figures (aka old-style figures or lowercase numbers) and mentions MP3s a few times. They didn’t pay very much attention, though, and left the combination alone instead of making it nice…

Dorky non-comic alert
My comics for Graphic Novels class didn’t turn out very well — I’m not much of a storyteller, but I draw without shame. They ended up more like blog posts (click for bigger version):
You, too, can be as cool as I am and obtain these pieces of paper, suitable for dorm rooms everywhere:
- Calder’s Smoke Rings
- How to make a Life Poster
- You’d have to ask me about sending you a Powerbook Helvetica print
- Emoticons poster from Veer/Speak Up
- Make your own Danger Helvetica sign
- Napoleon’s March — the Tufte poster
- Squidfingers wall pattern (lower right)
- Pokey the Penguin has a posse — not displayed, but still important
Things that will be on my walls eventually:
- What’s up? South! World Map
- Focus, an Alternative Motivational Poster
- A version of “Exotic Landscape” by Henri Rousseau that is neither full of stupid nor overly expensive
