The background is from photos of one of the gardens at Pitzer. I had a room overlooking this garden of desert plants for my last two years there and it was weird every single time I looked at it. Not a bad kind of weird, just a 'whoa, there are huge cacti growing in the ground! I thought those were little plants that grew in pots in the window' kind of weird. I sent this to Trina and Erik Orton.


This one is pretty basic, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. The eyeballs are my favorite part, I think. This went to Ryland.




My copy of The Name of the Rose is falling apart so badly that even I have no illusions about its future. I'm keeping at least part of it for text background stuff, which is evidenced by how I came up with this - I thought it would be cool to do a page of English-language text and then run my rolling Hello Kitty stamp over it for the background. I sent it to Sheyna Gifford.


This is more text-as-graphic stuff. I think I'd have been a little happier maybe if I'd gotten something that was solidly in Japanese, but I kind of like having the English in there, it reinforces the idea of the text as part of the image rather than having semantic content like text as text does. I sent it to Gayle Margolis.


Andrea Abney. The text says "What have you got to look forward to? Where will you be in ten years? What are you really sure of? What if you fall in love? What if you fall in love with the wrong person? What if almost everything goes right? What if you fall out of love? What if you can't get along with your co-workers? What if the politician you don't like gets elected? What if there's an accident? What if you're missing something important? What are you trying to prove? What are you afraid of? What do you want, deep down? What are you really sure of? What will it matter in the end?"




Jarrin Jambik.


Sasha Conway.


Scott Keever. I did one for him and Rachel MacAulay with people protesting the existence of Larry and I thought I scanned it but I can't find it now.


This went to Sarah Hagstrom. I don't know what's going on with the weird iridescence at the top other than to say that it's a scanner idiosyncracy.


This went to Holly Rushing, who I didn't know was having trouble at work that week until after I mailed it.
