Round things on Etsy
I like how these look:
They reminded me of squared circles so I had to find some of those too:

I like this newspaper a lot
These are two of my favorite pictures from the New York Times recently:
A wolverine, part of “A Featherless Audubon Menagerie”.
An illustration for “The Brain on the Stand”.
These are three of my favorite articles, which are somehow all about food:
- “A Taste of Ghana” — street food that sounds delicious.
- “Thumb-Wrestling With Plantains Is Now an Optional Sport” — Edwin Rodriguez and the invention of the E-Z Peeler.
- “Native Foods Nourish Again” — “‘You can go to most any area of this country and eat Thai or Chinese or Mongolian barbecue, but you can’t eat indigenous foods native to the Americas.’”

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
