Hawaiian Shave Ice

Today I was craving a snow cone. Then I thought of how good a shave ice would be. There is no shave ice here, so I drew an illustration of one. Then I drew two more. It was a good time.

Hole-Punch Assignment

On the first day of my experimental darkroom class, we were asked to bring in a 4×5 negative, punch 5 holes out of it, trade hole punches with another student, and go into the darkroom and try to make something cool. This is the oddest assignment I’ve been given… here were my results..ImageImageImageImageImage
