A leader with a cult of personality who commands a fanatical following, sets unrealizable production targets, and proposes unprecedentedly large infrastructure projects. I wonder if that sounds familiar..?

Starting the year by using Adobe Animate CC for the first time.

Made this a while back, now seems like an appropriate time to share it.

Translating Chinese into Math:

“千里之行，始於足下” Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching (Chapter 64) 

“ 譬如為山,未成一簣;止,吾止也。譬如平地,雖覆一簣;進,吾往也。” --Confucius, Analects (Book 9 Section 19)

Notes: In keeping with ancient Chinese, characters read up to down, right to left. Punctuation has also been omitted.

 The original The second quote is often translated as “It doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop,” (the same sense as it appears in Fig. 2). But do note that that is a very liberal translation of the original text.

As I was researching proverbs to illustrate, I found many that were hilariously mis-attributed to both philosophers.

Just putting thing up because I haven't posted in a while. Doodled this today in a class about vector spaces, which seems somewhat appropriate. (if you look closely you'll see that the vanishing points are wrong and most of the lines are extraneous, because ITS A DOODLE)

Doodled this during Themodynamics Lecture.

A comic to celebrate the beginning of spring break.

In case it weren't clear that I'm an engineering student. My tuition may not cover room and board but it clearly covers chalk and board.

Happy Valentine's! I don't celebrate it but maybe you do.

Trying something new. Got confused in the middle whether white was shadows or light. The pic is actually quite big.

Like Elsa, America's affluent are neither especially evil nor benevolent, but they do have enough power to screw over a lot of people.

Part One of a multi-part Series on drawing in perspective. This is just a warmup. http://portapenguin.tumblr.com/VanishingPoints. I'm circumventing tumblr's post limits by redirecting you to a tumblr page instead.
