How I See It

Hey hey,

I was on a bus stuck in traffic heading into NYC, so even though I’m not the first to do this and won’t be the last, I did it anyway.

You might have seen this in The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, where he draws a boa constrictor digesting an elephant, or in the many cartoons from Demetri Martin, where he plays with shapes and meaning. It’s a fun exercise that I’ve seen done on social media, and something you can do too!

Take a shape, look at it from different angles and perspectives, and see what it says.

Here’s what I did.

If this didn’t give you a crick in the neck, try it yourself with your own shape! And also, some fun news! I am selling signed prints for the first time! I just spent too long in the post office sending my first few out! So proud of myself. You can find the prints here! (Plus another hand-drawn limited run.)

One print is my first attempt at a three-circle Venn diagram!

And yes, I have been told that farts can also wake you up.

The second print is about emails!

They came out great, so if you’d like a print, go for it. It would mean so much. And as always, thank you for being here.
