What did I do this Afternoon?

Listen, before anybody hassles me about my lackluster blogging (we can’t all live fast-paced lives in the world of politics or start blogs about what we look at on screens), let me tell you what I accomplished today: I made a font out of my own handwriting. That’s right America, my handwriting is now a font.



So there.

Also, if you want it, I can email it to you. The hyphen doesn't work though, so, you know, that's an issue.

Here is What I Did in Art Class Today

Or, more accurately, Graphic Design Class. Maybe you are wondering why I am taking a graphic design class, so here is why: despite my best efforts I continue to enjoy looking at and choosing fonts, and also using fonts. I am learning that proper people call them "typefaces" so I am trying to be better about that. I like entertaining the notion that someday in my life a person will give me money to move letters and perhaps also images around in an area in order to prepare that area for people's viewing. This will probably not happen, but just in case it does it is important that I learn how to draw the idea of text doing silly things, like a lowercase g in Freight acting like a balloon while an uppercase Copperplate T anchors it. So, here you are.



In unrelated news, Here was the thing that was the best part of today.
